“Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end.”

You can’t have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules

If you are to advance, all fixed ideas must go.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come. –

It’s only when a man tames his own demons that he becomes the king of himself if not of the world.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.

The dreamer and his dream are the same…the powers personified in a dream are these that move the world.

If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else’s; the whole point is to find your own way.

Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.

You must have a place to which you can go in your heart, your mind, or your house, almost every day, where you do not owe anyone and where no one owes you – a place that simply allows for the blossoming of something new and promising.

Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.

The hero journey is inside of you; tear off the veils and open the mystery of your self.

You become mature when you become the authority of your own life.

Wisdom and foolishness are practically the same. Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world.
