Guess Who Quotes!

All men are caught in an inextricable network of mutuality.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

[Answer in Quotes of the days!]

Okay - so it's a cupcake invasion...!!

I can't resist - I have found the simple truth that just looking at pictures of certain cupcakes can make me happy!! I don't understand it - but it's so true! So, here are some examples of cupcake pictures that make me happy, you can see if they do anything for you! (I know, like all things, they won't be for everyone... but you can find out!)

I featured these first ones yesterday, but I really love these (look closely):

Spice of Life...

Variety is the spice of life, and that is why I am happy to feature a lot of it here. It's not often that posts in sequence feature category links to cupcake pictures and Einstein quotes! Not to mention the idea that love is the greatest wisdom of all, and how that thinking is shared by Dostoyevsky, and even by Colin Farrell, talking about how unconditional love is the most important thing of all in our lives... But we all have a variety of interests, and mine are diverse too, so here are many of them!

Quotes of the Days - *7 Quotes for Greater Wisdom - from brilliant minds*

Not included in those brilliant quotes - Many who come to find that love is the greatest and most important wisdom of all - a combined, life-affirming, and nurturing wisdom that is the best of heart and mind. Not just love in action, but love in warmth and comfort of feeling. Pure, unconditional, love... (With appropriate boundaries, of course!)

Dostoyevsky was among those who have come to affirm this truth - Best Quotes of his to come...! Even actor Colin Farrell repeatedly emphasized the all-importance of love last night in his speech at the Golden Globes, and how he's found that love and curiosity are the best ways to fight ignorance in life, even his own.
