― Mark Lawrence, King of Thorns

“COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT

I was born the day
I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?

I was transformed the day
My ego shattered,
And all the superficial, material
Things that mattered
To me before,
Suddenly ceased
To matter.

I really came into being
The day I no longer cared about
What the world thought of me,
Only on my thoughts for
Changing the world.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

“By out-talking or bad-mouthing people, some get hoisted by their own petard, ultimately. When their sense of shame makes them crawl back to the open, they can only recover through a convalescing remedy of humbleness. After an exhausting journey throughout the scorching desert of disgrace, they come to know how to be reborn from themselves. This rebirth allows them to recognize their true selves and to become relatable again. ("Waiting for emancipation")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“I actually plan to mess up my life and start over every seven years. That way, I’ll never get in a rut. I read somewhere that most of your cells only live about seven years anyway, so in theory you literally are a new person; I figure that’s the best time to start over.”
― Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

“I AM NOT. AND THEN I AM. I WONDER IF THAT WAS DEATH.”
― Amie Kaufman, Illuminae

“My old mind hadn’t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I’d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle’s compassion and Esme’s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that.”
― Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn

“The easiest way to be reborn is to live and feel life everyday”

“Philosophy is dead. Only ontological mathematics can resurrect it. Ontological mathematics mathematizes metaphysics and shows how it underpins physics, thus returning metaphysics to the pinnacle of intellectual activity. Ontological mathematics restores the grand tradition of philosophy, Big Philosophy. Come and join the real thinkers.”
― Thomas Stark, Tractatus Logico-Mathematicus: How Mathematics Explains Reality

“I was ready to rise from the ashes and be reborn.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“It began to darken. Not the darkness that was already within the yateveo but an enveloping darkness, even blacker than the night but without depth or time. this was it. And as far as reporting what death was like, I can use only one word: colorless. But oddly, that wasn't quite it. After what could have been anything between a couple of seconds and a century, I saw a dim sliver of light open up in front of me, and I believed, for a moment, that I was about to be reborn.”
― Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey

“For some of us, it’s about more than
the deliria. Some of us, the lucky ones, will get the
chance to be reborn: newer, fresher, better. Healed
and whole and perfect again, like a misshapen slab
of iron that comes out of the fire glowing,
glittering, razor sharp.
That is all I want—all I have ever wanted. That is
the promise of the cure”
― Lauren Oliver

“In balancing each desired goal with the contradiction contained therein, we cause our thought to be re-born at the very point from which all creation manifests.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“As I want to be most selfless, I find myself obsessed about being loved. Just when I do my utmost to accomplish a task well, I find myself questioning why others do not give themselves as I do. Wherever my virtuous self is, there also is the resentful complainer. I am totally unable to root out my resentments. They are so deeply anchored in the soil of my inner self that pulling them out seems like self-destruction. I cannot be reborn from below; that is, with my own strength, with my own mind, with my own psychological insights. I can only be healed from above, from where God reaches down.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming

“Hold me in your arms and I will be reborn into love.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“The Abundant Chamber by Stewart Stafford

Divest yourself of sword and coin,
And burn all your illusions and airs,
Let the cave mouth swallow you,
Go willingly into its dark recesses.

A comforting seashell to the ear,
There is no sound out of place,
Stillness a vast garment grounded,
Encroaching ambiance calms.

Now look within and take stock,
Have you reached your apotheosis?
Be cleansed by pure water pools,
Then become reborn to the light.

“O bucurie scânteietoare, ușoară ca un fulg, i s-a strecurat în suflet, ca lumina soarelui într-o dimineață de primăvară după ce ploaia s-a oprit, iar norii s-au îndepărtat în grabă, și lumea a părut nouă și curată și luminoasă, transformată într-o versiune mai bună a ei înșiși, sfâșietoare în frumusețea ei.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns
