Henry Miller quote: "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing..."
One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. Henry Miller
Of one thing we may be sure, we can never escape the external stimuli that cause vexation. The world is full of them, and though we were to retreat to a cave and live the remainder of our days alone, we still could not lose them. The rough floor of the cave would chafe us, the weather would irritate us and the very silence would cause us to fret Aiden Wilson Tozer

Initiative and starting are about neither of these. They are about “let’s see” and “try.” If there’s no clear right answer, perhaps the thing you ought to do is something new. Something new is often the right path when the world is complicated. Seth Godin
One thing that most comic artists avoid is showing decisions. They show action, sure, and they show results, but they don’t show (because it’s difficult to show) the hero or the villain making a choice. Seth Godin
and vinegar that makes them sour—and camomile that makes them bitter—and—and barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn’t be so stingy about it, you know— Lewis Carroll
Ray Bradbury quote: "No," said a voice, "the only thing wrong on a night like that..."
No," said a voice, "the only thing wrong on a night like that is that there is a world and you must come back to it. Ray Bradbury
Nature, keeping only useless secrets, had placed within reach and in sight of human beings the things it was necessary for them to know. Michel Foucault
I shall never forget how I was roused one night by the groans of a fellow prisoner, who threw himself about in his sleep, obviously having a horrible nightmare. Since I had always been especially sorry for people who suffered from fearful dreams or deliria, I wanted to wake the poor man. Suddenly I drew back the hand which was ready to shake him, frightened at the thing I was about to do. At that moment I became intensely conscious of the fact that no dream, no matter how horrible, could... Viktor E. Frankl
It is a splendid thing to think that the woman you really love will never grow old to you. Through the wrinkles of time, through the mask of years, if you really love her, you will always see the face you love and won. And a woman who really loves a man does not see that he grows old; he is not decrepit to her; she always sees the same gallant gentleman who won her hand and heart. Robert Green Ingersoll

The gate to all mystery. Lao Tzu
