“in dreams it is often the case that the greatest extravagances seem bereft of their power to astonish and the most improbable chimeras seem commonplace.”

“At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.”

“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

“Thus it is said:The path into light seems dark,the path forward seems to go back,the direct path seems long,true power seems weak...the greatest love seems indifferent,the greatest wisdom seems childish.”

“Thus it is said:The path into the light seems dark,the path forward seems to go back,the direct path seems long,true power seems weak,true purity seems tarnished,true steadfastness seems changeable,true clarity seems obscure,the greatest are seems unsophisticated,the greatest love seems indifferent,the greatest wisdom seems childish.The Tao is nowhere to be found.Yet it nourishes and completes all things.”

“Simple' does not mean 'easy'. I have learned that the things that seem the simplest are often the most powerful of all.”
