“Perhaps all the d**gons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act,
just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is,
in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
- Rainer Maria Rilke
"This I Believe..."
“This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most
valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind
to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against:
any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.”
- John Steinbeck
"Accomplished Fugitives..."
“Human beings have always employed an enormous variety of clever devices for running away from themselves, and the modern world is particularly rich in such stratagems. We can keep ourselves so busy, fill our lives with so many diversions, stuff our heads with so much knowledge, involve ourselves with so many people and cover so much ground that we never have time to probe the fearful and wonderful world within. More often than not we don’t want to know ourselves, don’t want to depend on ourselves, don’t want to live with ourselves. By middle life most of us are accomplished fugitives from ourselves.”
- John Gardner
