“But I seem to recall that you can rub the outside of an apple until it shines without ever eradicating the worm within.”

“Without a use this shining woman lived - Or did she only live to be at death the food of worms.”

“there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”

“I believe that the greatest truths of the universe don't lie outside, in the study of the stars and the planets. They lie deep within us, in the magnificence of our heart, mind, and soul. Until we understand what is within, we can't understand what is without.”

“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.”

“Unhappy me," quoth she, "and will't not stand?Come, let me rub and chafe it with my hand.Perhaps the silly worm is laboured soreAnd wearièd that it can do no more.”
