“But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Truly
I try to be good but sometimes
a person just has to break out and
act like the wild and springy thing
one used to be. It’s impossible not
to remember wild and want it back. So
if someday you can’t find me you might
look into that tree or—of course
it’s possible—under it.”
― Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems

“For some things
there are no wrong seasons.
Which is what I dream for me.”
― Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems

“Who can guess the impatience of stone to be ground down, to be a part of something livelier?”
― Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems
