Joseph Campbell
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

William Wordsworth
“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.”
William Wordsworth, Lyrical Ballads

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.”
Johann wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

William Wordsworth
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come”
William Wordsworth
