“ We’re all lonely for something we don’t know we’re lonely for.”
“ The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.” “ You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.” “ The most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.” “ There is no experience that is not a form of self-experience.” |
