“It's dark because you're trying too hard. Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. 'Lightly, child, lightly. You've got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.' [...] So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly.”
― Aldous Huxley, Island

“We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move along in it.
We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream.”

“he would sink easily into the deepest waves, where the fish are blind and divers die of nostalgia”
