I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.
Mary Anne RadmacherI have no way of knowing whether the events that I am about to narrate are effects or causes.

Reading gives one something to think about other than one's self.
Tom BissellIn the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.
Oscar WildeLike vanishing dew,
a passing apparition
or the sudden flash
of lightning -- already gone --
thus should one regard one's self.

What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.
George EliotTags: self
We'd start slow, the way we always did, because the run, and the game, could go on for awhile. Maybe even forever.
That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening. Right then, as I ran with Wes into that bright sun, and every moment afterwards. Look, there. Now. Now. Now.
Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.
Etty HillesumWhat I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me.
