An obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity

There seemed to be endless obstacles... it seemed that the root cause of them all was fear.

I began to have an idea of my life, not as the slow shaping of achievement to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.

It's weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them

I used to worry about what life was for - now being alive seems sufficient reason.
