“People speak sometimes about the “bestial” cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts. No animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky
- Groucho Marx
Got this quote because it reminds me that mental illness doesn’t have to be negative all of the time.
Done at No Hard Feelings Tattoo in Coral Springs, FL, by Amy Kyryliw. Taken a few minutes after finishing.
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
~Buddha
“Sometimes it’s necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness.” ~Galway Kinnell
