Wisdom Quote by Erik Pevernagie — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Let us keep enough money to enjoy each breath we take, but definitely not too much, if we don’t want to spoil the fragrance of our dreams and the poem of life.”

“Life is merely a series of moments and is in fact an unflinching serial killer, since it kills steadily each moment one after the other. Memory is the only survivor. (“Just for a moment”)”

“Some people look as if they have lost their eagerness and passion. Their aspiration seems to be exhausted and fresh inspiration has abandoned their weary mind. Life has boundlessly given them material welfare, which has fully spoiled them in the end. No energy for longing has been left, as they have reached a twilight zone. The twilight of desire. ( "Twilight of desire" )”

“Happiness is an undercurrent of sensitivity and leads a surreptitious life: it is an internal eventuality. We can feel it in stillness and it stands the test of time. Joy is an eruption of cheerful moments and we want to express it: it is an external eventuality. We might shout it out, as it conveys a dynamic of fleeting instants. Joy gives voice to “en-joy-ment”. ("The grass was greener over there")”

“If we expect to “know” the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, we may have a hard time seeing the whole picture, since the truth is a willful construction that allows us often merely to “guess”. ("Hinter der Mattscheibe")”

“Don't be afraid if the truth reveals itself to you and it is not what you were expecting to find. Many people reject truth when it is shown to them because it seems too simple.”

“The earth might be round, but the paths on it are flat with replayed”

“This is a pale reflection of a deeper truth: that the One who created us holds us with a constancy that does not require our acknowledgment. The thread is not diminished by our forgetting. It is simply waiting for us to turn and recognize it again.”

“Each person you meet”

“The job of a writer is not to convey emotion but to invoke it.”

“When one feels oneself smitten by love for a woman, one ought to say to oneself, “What are her surroundings? What has been her life? All one’s future happiness lies in the answer.”
