I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.
― The Fault In Our Stars

There is great chaos under heaven – the situation is excellent.
- MAO ZEDONG

Our biggest threat isn’t a mass epidemic, global warfare or anything of that nature. Our biggest threat is the desensitizing of our innate receptivity to awe; the dulling of our minds to that ocean of mystery we are immersed in yet unknowingly take for granted.

The soul moves in circles, said Plotinus. Hence our lives are not moving straight ahead; instead, hovering, wavering, returning, renewing, repeating. –James Hillman

The only sensible way to regard life is that it is a privilege you are willing to pay for. –Robert Henri
