“Let us go forth,
the tellers of tales,
and seize whatever prey
the heart long for,
and have no fear.
Everything exists,
everything is true,
and the earth is only
a little dust under our feet.”
— W. B. Yeats, The Celtic Twilight
When you desire comfort without altering your lifestyle, looking without making a decision to change becomes an open portal that never closes, and your quest becomes an energy drain on a mirage; then, the self submits to chaos.
“Presently the smell of coffee began to fill the room. This was morning’s hallowed moment. In such a fragrance the perversity of the world is forgotten, and the soul is inspired with faith in the future…”
- Halldór Laxness, Independent People
"I was perfectly calm and perfectly insane, perfectly prepared to accept what the moment had offered. Indifference of that magnitude is rare…because it can be achieved only by someone ready to let go of who he is."
- Paul auster
