"when i was a boy i fell out of a tree but i managed just to grab a branch. i hung there for a long time, terrified. the silence and the pain in my arms. and the pounding in my ears. and then i fell. i don't remember what happened when i hit the ground. all i can remember now is the agony of holding on. and the wonderful feeling, the wonderful feeling of letting go."
- Wisdom of Crocodiles

In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude. But with action came anxiety, and the sense of insuperable effort made to match the dream, and with it came weariness, discouragement, and the flight into solitude again. And then in solitude, in the opium den of remembrance, the possibility of pleasure again.
- Anais Nin

-Richard Feynman

"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
