“Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.”

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.”

“If you are falling....dive.”

“You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.”

“And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.”

“Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
