God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly, not one. – Rumi, as interpreted by Camille and Kabir Helminski
I am much better employed from every point of view, when I live solely for my own satisfaction, than when I begin to worry about the world. The world frightens me, and a frightened man is no good for anything. – George Gissing
