 We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness. |
| We do not exist for ourselves... |
| We have to have a deep, patient compassion for the fears of men and irrational mania of those who hate or condemn us. |
| We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us. |
| We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in |
| We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves. |
| We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen. |
| What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous... |
| Wheels of fire, cosmic, rich, full-bodied honest victories over desperation. |
| When ambition ends, happiness begins. |
| Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest activities begin. It is here that you discover act without motion, labor that is profound repose, vision in obscurity, and, beyond all desire, a fulfillment whose limits extend to infinity. |
