There is nothing out here..it is all inside;it is all in my head. The things that happen do not existunless I give them meaning. To be able to define everythingis where my greatest weakness lies. To be able to feelis the madness I need to make senseof the things that strike me. People strike me, love strikes meand everything else moves mein such a waythat I could barely understand. I feel, and everything I feel is nothing;nothing but an extensionof the mindandof the heart I was born with. Robert M. Drake
About This Quote

When we feel we are alone, we are not. We only seem to be alone when we do not allow ourselves to be aware of the truth: we are not alone. If we live in a world of our own making then we give meaning to everything. If we only give meaning to things that happen then we will find that it is easy to be unhappy, because everything out here does not exist unless we give it meaning. It is only when all things have meaning that happiness can come.
