Ever since tea was first discovered, its cultivation and consumption have been encouraged because of its apparent ability to ward off disease, strengthen powers of concentration, cleanse the body, and aid digestion.

Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence.

Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings. - Bram Stoker

Lonely people, in talking to each other can make each other lonelier. - Lillian Hellman

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets. - Paul Tournier

One trouble with most of us is that we don't use the resources within ourselves. We are all neglectful of powers that we share as our human birth-right, capacities for distraction from ourselves, for intelligent enjoyment, for receiving and giving. Through lack of mental and moral and spiritual exercises our souls shrink and shrivel and break out into maladies that almost inevitably include the feeling of misery and isolation usually described as loneliness. If we were properly related to ourselves and to the world and to the universe we should never lack for company and we should never be lonely. - John Daniel Barry

Physical distance between people has nothing to do with loneliness. It's psychic distance. - Robert M. Pirsig

The main consequence of saying no to negative peer pressure is not just withstanding "the heat of the moment," as most adults think. Rather, it is coping with a sense of exclusion as others engage in the behavior and leave the adolescent increasingly alone. It is the loss of the shared experience. Further, the sense of exclusion remains whenever the group later recounts what happened. This feeling of loneliness then becomes pervasive but carries an easy solution – go along with the crowd. - Michael Riera

The most evident quality of human life is its loneliness. - Austin O’Malley

The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony. - Douglas Coupland

Death - Quotes

It is no exaggeration when a human speaks the words ‘I’m dying’. Because it’s the honest, hurtful truth. Every human lives to die. In the end, everyone lies at rest. By the minute we are all slowly getting closer to dying. Therefore, live the minutes and hours of your days as if they’re your last. - Alessia Ng

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. - Steve Jobs

Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body. - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

For death is but a passing phase of Life; a change of dress, a disrobing; a birth into the unborn again; a commencing where we ended; a starting where we stopped to rest; a crossroad of Eternity; a giving up of something, to possess all things. The end of the unreal, the beginning of the real. - Edwin Leibfreed

When we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heart-breaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings. - Sogyal Rinpoche

I don’t think anybody’s necessarily ready for death. You can only hope that when it approaches, you feel like you’ve said what you wanted to say. Nobody wants to go out in mid-sentence. - Johnny Depp
