I was looking at the file I saved of my old blog. I thought I would bring some of that material forward. Here's some quotes I enjoy, for one reason or another. There's no central, unified theme to this material...
"The whole world is a very narrow bridge. And the most important thing is to not be afraid."
--Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
"Every angel is terrifying."
--Rainer Maria Rilke
"An ocean without its unnamed monsters would be like a completely dreamless sleep."
--John Steinbeck, "The Log from the Sea of Cortez"
"Ideas are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny."
--Carl Schurz
"Men occasionally stumble on the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
--Winston Churchill
