Friedrich Nietzsche
“Knowledge kills action, for action requires a state of being in which we are covered with the veil of illusion.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy

David Whyte
“You know that the antidote to exhaustion is not necessarily rest? … The antidote to exhaustion is wholeheartedness.”
David Whyte, Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity

Nikos Kazantzakis
“When you've made up your mind, no use lagging behind, go ahead and no relenting,
Let your youth have free reign, it won't come again, so be bold and no repenting.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
tags: youth

Philip Pullman
“The fairy tale is in a perpetual state of becoming and alteration. To keep to one version or one translation alone is to put robin redbreast in a cage.”
Philip Pullman, Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English Version

David Whyte
“But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
David Whyte, Consolations - Revised edition: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words
