“It is true that I create over and over again the same difficulties for myself in order to struggle over and over again to master them [but] to continually struggle against the same problem and to continually fail to dominate it brings a feeling of frustration and a kind of paralysis. What is necessary to life, to livingness, is to move on, in other words to move from one kind of problem to another.”

“When you have the same dream over and over again, your brain is trying to solve a problem. It knows there's an answer.”

“I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”

“Bored with the same type of misery over and over and over again.”

“Why are so many of us enspelled by myths and folk stories in this modern age? Why do we continue to tell the same old tales, over and over again? I think it's because these stories are not just fantasy. They're about real life. We've all encountered wicked wolves, found fairy godmothers, and faced trial by fire. We've all set off into unknown woods at one point in life or another. We've all had to learn to tell friend from foe and to be kind to crones by the side of the road. . . .”

“Create until nothing is left to create andThe universe bursts with an overworked sigh thenPretend to pretend to re-crown the creation andSing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and thenOver and over and over again and thenOver and over andNever again”
