I recently took the time to read The Picture of Dorian Gray. I had seen the older black and white movie then the more recent remake showing on HBO. However, I’d never read the book. I was not disappointed in taking the time to read the book. Mr. Wilde’s use of the English language kept me enthralled. The ways he bent it yet let it flow. Musical and beautiful given the at times disturbing plot. I investigated his life online. His views on life satirical, wry, yet truthful. His end sad. Whenever I see one of his quotes or a piece written about him I now stop to read. Today, this was posted by mental_floss on their website. Happy 160th birthday to Oscar Wilde.

Here are 25 of his best quotes. Drink in and enjoy.

Dalai Lama, humanity, living in the present, quotes, Sofia's Wisdom

This week I seem to be focused on His Holiness the Dalai Lama for inspiration and wisdom. I first came upon this quote several weeks ago. It corresponded with my decision to pursue my long delayed goal and desire to document others’ life experiences and wisdom then to share it with a larger audience. It’s what brought about the start of my website and blog. I decided to pursue my dreams so I could enjoy my present. Doing this project gives me great joy in my present and my future. It’s not easy. But his words of wisdom encourage me to keep trying.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

insight, quotes, viewpoint

Overall, I agree with what Ms. Angelou wrote. Yet this quote stayed with me yesterday into today trying to wrap my thoughts around a part of it I didn’t fully agree. Working with people in the late stages of Alzheimer’s, I have witnessed that these individuals may not remember you tomorrow, never mind in a few hours, but they do remember how you treated them. Be mindful of how you treat those around you, your loved ones, your friends, because the essence of your interactions stays with them.

As I begin my journey to document the stories and histories of others, I notice that former patients’ names that have stayed with me for so long are starting to disappear from my recall. I can’t recall every detail of stories they’ve told me but portions remain. Especially the words shared that led to discoveries within myself. The words ARE still there. Maybe to be paraphrased versus confidently quoted verbatim – but they are still within me. I feel words that affected you strongly in either a positive or negative manner can stay present for a long time. And maybe that’s just it…the words also lead to the feelings brought about within you. They are symbiotic. The words, the actions, the result of a feeling. They are all essential. These are my thoughts and my experience so far. Ms. Angelou had her own which was her truth. If her goal was to have people ponder on her words (interestingly enough) then she succeeded with me. Thank you, mam.
