He thought that in the beauty of the world
were hid a secret. He thought the world�s heart
beat at some terrible cost and that the world�s
pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of
diverging equity and in his headlong deficit
the blood of multitudes might ultimately be
exacted for the vision of a single flower

Cormac McCarthy, 'All the Pretty Horses'

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth
I look at you, and I sigh.

A drinking song, Yeats

Find your true weakness and surrender to it.
Therein lies the path to genius. Most people spend
their lives using their strengths to overcome or
cover up their weaknesses. Those few who use their
strengths to incorporate their weaknesses, who don't
divide themselves, those people are very rare.
In any generation there are a few and they
lead their generation.

When you follow your bliss...
doors will open where you would not have
thought there would be doors, and where
there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.

It's the individual who gets destroyed. Infinity is indestructible.
Being immortal is looking at your infinite nature.

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in
one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are
relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past,
present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us
in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

we ask ourselves, `who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?' actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of god.
your playing small doesn't serve the world. there's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you. we are all meant to shine, as children do. we were born
to make manifest the glory of god that is within is. it's not just
in some of us: it's in everyone. and as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
as we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
