So let the die be cast - I am crossing the Rubicon. This road no doubt leads me into battle, but I will... Soren Kierkegaard

Reading that sparks inner revolution is desperately needed to escape drowning in the rapidly advancing information society.... Daisaku Ikeda
I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things you must risk it. And here is the shock- when you risk it, when you do the right thing, when you arrive at the borders of common sense and cross into unknown territory, leaving behind you all the familiar smells and lights; then you do not experience great joy and huge energy. You are unhappy. Things get worse. It is a time of mourning. Loss. Fear. We battle... Jeanette Winterson
