“In our present digital age, our brains have become accustomed to scanning and skimming as quickly as possible. Deep transformative work requires observation, time, and reflection. Savor this text. Take your time.”

“Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving... I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you. My creed is Love and you are its only tenet - You have ravish'd me away by a Power I cannot resist.”
― John Keats
