“We spend so much time on the whole world instead of on those who really need us, in a world where rumours are a trend and truth is an afterthought.”
“Many of us would probably be better fishermen if we did not spend so much time watching and waiting for the world to become perfect”
“We move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time--we often think they began with our arrival. That's not true.”
“We spend so much time creating a façade of what we want to project to the world, we almost forget what we ourselves are truly about in the process.”
“One of the greatest barriers to connection is the cultural importance we place on "going it alone." Somehow we've come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves. It's as if we've divided the world into "those who offer help" and "those who need help." The truth is that we are both.”
“We give them different names, those nights lit only by fire and the moon, depending on the country and the calendar, but we know what they are. They call up the world that was before the Lord came down among us; the world where good and evil were not so certain, so fixed as they are today, where the known and the unheard-of could mingle as they chose...where truth had its doubts, do you see?(By Moonlight)”
