“Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair.”

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.

Distracted from distraction by distraction

I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.

For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.

Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.

This is the way the world ends not with a bang but a whimper.

Teach us to care and not to care

If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

I can connect Nothing with nothing

For you know only a heap of broken images

It’s insane to me to ask anybody to be what they’re not. Know what you know the best, love the most. That’s always going to be the answer to the thing that you have the best shot at winning at.

The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.

A sense of humor is the main measure of sanity.

Apparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.

The variety of disasters that can occur to us is so enormous that we tend to preserve our sanity by not thinking about most of them.”

Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Just stopping, is a radical act of sanity and love.

If your sanity requires you to talk less and feel more, so be it. You are not a bad person for not entertaining everyone.
