Quotes

Adventures are never fun while you're having them.

One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.

Those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We do not want merely to see beauty … we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.

Until you conquer the fear of being an outsider, an outsider you will remain.
