“It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.”
― Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's Wisdom for Daily Living

“O, were I loved as I desire to be!
What is there in the great sphere of the earth,
Or range of evil between death and birth,
That I should fear, - if I were loved by thee!
All the inner, all the outer world of pain,
Clear love would pierce and cleave, if thou wert mine;
As I have heard that somewhere in the main
Fresh-water springs come up through bitter brine.
‘I were joy, not fear, clasped hand in hand with thee,
To wait for death - mute - careless of all ills,
Apart upon a mountain, though the surge
Of some new deluge from a thousand hills
Flung leagues of roaring foam into the gorge
Below us, as far on as eye could see.”
― Alfred Tennyson

“Only through time time is conquered”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“And what delights can equal those
That stir the spirit's inner deeps,
When one that loves but knows not, reaps
A truth from one that loves and knows?”
― Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam
