“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

Helen Keller

“It is the routine that keeps men sane; for if there were no grooves along which thought and action might move with unconscious ease, the mind would be perpetually hesitant and would soon take refuge in lunacy.”

Our Oriental Heritage, Will Durant

“May the great mystery make a sunrise in your heart.”

“To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.”

Robert Louis Stevenson

“Poetry…lies beyond seriousness on that more primitive and original level where the child, the animal, the savage and the seer belong, in the region of dream, enchantment, ecstasy, laughter. To understand poetry we must be capable of donning the child’s soul like a magic cloak and of forsaking man’s wisdom for the child’s.”

Playing Man (Homo Ludens), Johan Huizinga, 1938
