“There are idlers and idlers, who form a contrast.”
― Vincent van Gogh, Ever Yours: The Essential Letters

“I notice that I have to pay careful attention in order to listen to others with an openness that allows them to be as they are, or as they think themselves to be. The shutters of my mind habitually flip open and click shut, and these little snaps form into patterns I arrange for myself. The opposite of this inattention is love, is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy and allows mutual discovery.”
― Anne Truitt, Daybook: The Journal of an Artist

“Everyone should have a gentle yet sure respect for their own mystery.”
― John O Donohue

“An educated mind is nothing but the God-given mind of a child after his parents’ and his grandparents’ generation have got through molding it. We can’t help teaching you; you will ask that of us; but we are prone to teach you what we know, and I am going, now and again, to warn you:

Remember we really don’t know anything. Keep your baby eyes (which are the eyes of genius) on what we don’t know. That is your playground, bare and graveled, safe and unbreakable.”
― Lincoln Steffens, The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens
