“He goes because he must, as Galahad went towards the Grail: knowing that for those who can live it, this alone is life.”

“Paul Tillich - Loneliness & Solitude: "And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain to pray: and when the evening was come, he was alone" - Matthew 14.23. 'He was there alone.' So are we. Man [humankind] is alone because he/[she] is man [human]. In some way every creature is alone...Loneliness can be conqured only by those who can bear solitude (1973:15 & 20).To overcome 'our' sense of aloness is a life long pursuite - let us not despair in its pursuite!”

“One should not become an artist because he can, but because he must. It is only for those who would be miserable without it.”

“He who knows the treasure he has: his days and hours of life, which can change everything which goes on around him.”

“Man can not live by bread alone ... he must have peanut butter.”
