“Perhaps you are not yet where you feel you should be, but from one dreamer to another, a careful word of advice: You could reach every last one of your goals and still find yourself unfulfilled at the finishing line.

The true essence of life exists in the in between. It is in the striving that your excellence is exposed to the world. It is in the setbacks that the strength of your spirit is learned. In the unfinished dream lies the full and burning heart of life.
It is only a spell of the mind, an artful deception, that you might find fulfillment in fortune, fame, perfection or power. Life is lived here: In the distance you still have left to travel. The is where the true magic happens.

- The Ascent”

“You mistake love. You think it has to have a future in order to matter, but it doesn't. It's the only thing that does not need to become at all. It matters only insofar as it exists. Here. Now. Love doesn't require a future.”
