“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.”

What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.

The best things cannot be told, the second best are misunderstood. After that comes civilized conversation; after that, mass indoctrination; after that, intercultural exchange.

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.

Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.

If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder. Fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won.

Midlife is when you reach the top of the ladder and find that it was against the wrong wall.

You have to learn to recognize your own depth.

You’ve got to find the force inside you.

The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.

People forget facts, but they remember stories.

The quest for fire occurred not because anyone knew what the practical uses for fire would be, but because it was fascinating.

The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.

The ultimate aim of the quest must be neither release nor ecstasy for oneself, but the wisdom and the power to serve others.

Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is.

Truth is that which makes a people certain, clear, and strong.

Make it so good and so clear that it doesn’t need any further explanation.

The vision is so much clearer when you wipe down the mirror.

White balloons floating away. Expel the energy wasters, they just prey. Move from the clutter, the haze. Clear pearlescent white from the grey.

In the very shadows of doubt a thread of reason (so to speak) begins, by whose guidance we shall escape to the clearest light.

Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.

Its a part of adulting when you start to see each human too clearly and then there is no going back.

It’s clear there’s a lot of room for improvement, there’s no inherent ceiling we’re hitting up on.
