“And I despise your books, I
despise wisdom and the blessings of this world. It is all worthless, fleeting,
illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but
death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than
mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal
geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe.”
― Anton Chekhov

a Strange Land
“Aren't you, like me, hoping that
some person, thing, or event will come along to give you that final feeling of
inner well-being you desire? Don't you often hope: 'May this book, idea,
course, trip, job, country or relationship fulfill my deepest desire.' But as long
as you are waiting for that mysterious moment you will go on running
helter-skelter, always anxious and restless, always lustful and angry, never
fully satisfied. You know that this is the compulsiveness that keeps us going
and busy, but at the same time makes us wonder whether we are getting anywhere
in the long run. This is the way to spiritual exhaustion and burn-out. This is
the way to spiritual death.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the
Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World
“You look up when you wish to be
exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.”
