Durga Chew-Bose
“The genius of the word is that it’s more of an expression than a word.”
Durga Chew-Bose, Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays

Epictetus
“What would have become of Hercules do you think if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar - and no savage criminals to rid the world of? What would he have done in the absence of such challenges?

Obviously he would have just rolled over in bed and gone back to sleep. So by snoring his life away in luxury and comfort he never would have developed into the mighty Hercules.

And even if he had, what good would it have done him? What would have been the use of those arms, that physique, and that noble soul, without crises or conditions to stir into him action?”
Epictetus, The Discourses

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Understanding is like water flowing in a stream. Wisdom and knowledge are solid and can block our understanding”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Mike   MacDonald
“Nature is beautiful in all its chaos. However, a nature photograph is beautiful only in the absence of chaos.”
Mike MacDonald

John Dominic Crossan
“When a metaphor gets big, it is called “tradition”; when it gets bigger, it is called “reality”;”
