Thomas Merton
“What you fear is an indication of what you seek.”
Thomas Merton

Edwin Arlington Robinson
“I am not one
Who must have everything, yet I must have
My dreams if I must live, for they are mine.
Wisdom is not one word and then another,
Till words are like dry leaves under a tree;
Wisdom is like a dawn that comes up slowly
Out of an unknown ocean.”
Edwin Arlington Robinson, Tristram

T.S. Eliot
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.”
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Those who hear not the music think the dancers mad.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

William Blake
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom...You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.”
William Blake, Proverbs of Hell
