More From Edgar Allan Poe

Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

ِan offer you can't refuse.

Please don't wait until the doctors tell you that you are going to have a baby to begin to take care of it. it is already there. whatever you are, whatever you do, your baby will get it. anything you eat, any worries that are on your mind will be for him or her. can you tell me that you cannot smile? think of the baby, and smile for him, for her, for the future generations. please don't tell me that a smile and your sorrow just don't go together. it's your sorrow, but what about your baby? it's not his sorrow, its not her sorrow.

Ought we not, from time to time, open ourselves up to cosmic sadness? ... give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself that is its due, for if everyone bears his grief honestly and courageously, the sorrow that now fills the world will abate. but if you do not clear a decent shelter for your sorrow, and instead reserve most of the space inside you for hatred and thoughts of revenge-from which new sorrows will be born for others-then sorrow will never cease in this world and will multiply.

Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. if we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.

Easy to see that naught save sorrow could bring a man to such a view of things. and yet a sorrow for which there can be no help is no sorrow. it is some dark sister traveling in sorrow's clothing. men do not turn from god so easily you see. not so easily. deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from. to imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. it was never that this man ceased to believe in god. no. it was rather that he came to believe terrible things of him.

I believe democracy requires a 'sacred contract' between journalists and those who put their trust in us to tell them what we can about how the world really works.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. you have.

Rich people work hard and believe it's perfectly appropriate to be well rewarded for their efforts and the value they provide for others. poor people work hard, but due to their feelings of unworthiness, they believe that it is inappropriate for them to be well rewarded for their efforts and the value they provide.
