Quotes About Dissolution

One addition to the precepts already mentioned. Always make a definition or sketch of what presents itself to your mind, so you can see it stripped bare to its essential nature and identify it clearly, in whole and in all its parts, and can tell yourself its proper name and the names of those elements of which it is compounded and into which it will be dissolved.
~ Marcus Aurelius
It is in thy power to rid thyself of many unnecessary troubles, for they exist wholly in thy imagination. Thou wilt at once set thy feet in a large room by embracing the whole Universe in thy mind and including in thy purview time ever lasting, and by observing the rapid change in every part of everything, and the shortness of the span between birth and dissolution, and that the yawning immensity before birth is only matched by the infinity after our dissolution.
~ Marcus Aurelius

The word "linga" means "the form." When creation began to happen, or when the unmanifest became manifest, the first form that it assumed was that of an ellipsoid, or a three-dimensional ellipse, which is what we call a linga. It started as an ellipsoid, and then took on many other shapes and forms. If you go into deep states of meditativeness, you will find that before a point of absolute dissolution, once again the energy takes on the form of a linga.
~ Sadhguru
A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.
~ Samuel Adams
It is suicide to be abroad. But what it is to be at home, ... what it is to be at home? A lingering dissolution.

Privacy is rarely lost in one fell swoop. It is usually eroded over time, little bits dissolving almost imperceptibly until we finally begin to notice how much is gone.
~ Daniel J. Solove
Prison, with its daily rhythm, with the transfer and the defense, does not leave any time; prison dissolves time: This is the principal form of punishment in a capitalist society.

Friendship, popularly represented as something simple and straightforward—in contrast with love—is perhaps no less complicated, requiring equally mysterious nourishment; like love, too, bearing also within its embryo inherent seeds of dissolution, something more fundamentally destructive, perhaps, than the mere passing of time, the all-obliterating march of events which had, for example, come between Stringham and myself.
~ Anthony Powell
Let us say that you might have become a telepathic cancer, a malignant mentality which in its inevitable dissolution would have poisoned other and greater minds.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
Qué frío hace, pensó Eleanor infantilmente; nunca seré capaz de volver a dormir con todo este ruido surgiendo de mi cabeza; ¿cómo pueden los demás oír el ruido, si está saliendo de mi cabeza? Estoy desapareciendo centímetro a centímetro en esta casa, me estoy desmoronando cada vez un poco más porque todo este ruido me está desgajando; ¿por qué están asustados los demás?
~ Shirley Jackson
O sofrer nos ameaça a partir de três lados: do próprio corpo, que fadado ao declínio e à dissolução, não pode sequer dispensar a dor e o medo, como sinais de advertência; e, por fim, das relações com os outros seres humanos.
~ Sigmund Freud
