When he has the power to see things detached from self-interest and from the insistent claims of the lust of the senses, then alone can he have the true vision of the beauty that is everywhere.
Rabindranath TagoreLet the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.
Rabindranath TagoreThe first flower that blossomed on this earth was an invitation to an unborn song.
Rabindranath TagorePoems On Life: Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it. Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love. Life's errors cry for the merciful beauty that can modulate their isolation into a harmony with the whole. Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
