Just call me a misanthrope:
Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species or human nature. A misanthrope or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings.
Gustave Flaubert once declared that he would "die of suppressed rage at the folly of [his] fellow men."

There is nothing permanent except change.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
A man's character is his fate.
Nothing endures but change.
The road up and the road down is one and the same.
The eyes are more exact witnesses than the ears.
Much learning does not teach understanding.
All is flux, nothing stays still.
Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.
“Many fail to grasp what they have seen,
and cannot judge what they have learned,
although they tell themselves they know.”
— Heraclitus

Before seeing her name here and reading a bit, I thought her musical and spiritual work was all about John Coltrane and his spiritual ideas. Where do these wrong ideas come from?
After the death of her husband, Coltrane experienced a period of trial. She suffered from severe weight loss and sleepless nights, as well as hallucinations.
This tapas (a Sanskrit term she used to describe her suffering), led her to seek spiritual guidance from the guru Swami Satchidananda and later from Sathya Sai Baba. By 1972, she abandoned her secular life, and moved to California, where she established the Vedantic Center in 1975.

“Bhikkhus, the teaching is merely a vehicle to describe the truth. Don’t mistake it for the truth itself.
A finger pointing at the moon is not the moon. The finger is needed to know where to look for the moon, but if you mistake the finger for the moon itself, you will never know the real moon.
The teaching is like a raft that carries you to the other shore.
The raft is needed, but the raft is not the other shore. An intelligent person would not carry the raft around on his head after making it across to the other shore.
Bhikkhus, my teaching is the raft which can help you cross to the other shore beyond birth and death. Use the raft to cross to the other shore, but don’t hang onto it as your property. Do not become caught in the teaching. You must be able to let it go.”
“Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.”
-Elmore Leonard on writing.
“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.”

Life is a series of probabilities, choose well.
When you start doubting, you bring in negative energy which makes you start doubting yourself. Whereas failures make you more determined to try harder. Always stay positive, never give up on your dreams and what you believe in.
If your happiness depends on the others, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage, you are in the trap of people and circumstances.
The pain will end. The tears will stop. The doors will open. A season of miracles and blessings are on the horizon. Don't give up.
"If you don't fight for what you want, Don't cry for what you lost." - Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita
