“THE MALE JOURNEY t some point in time, a man needs to embark on a risky -journey. It's a necessary adventure that takes him into uncertainty, and it almost always involves some form of difficulty or failure. On this journey the man learns to trust God more than he trusts a sense of right and wrong or his own sense of self-worth.”

“A perfect man would never act from a sense of duty; he’d always want the right thing more than the wrong one. Duty is only a substitute for love (of God and of other people) like a crutch which is a substitute for a leg. Most of us need the crutch at times; but of course it is idiotic to use the crutch when our own legs (our own loves, tastes, habits etc.) can do the journey on their own.”

“He said that journeys involving the company of the dead were notorious for their difficulty but that in truth every journey was so accompanied.”

“A man who embarks on a journey must know when to end it.”

“A journey takes time. And the lessons we learn best, they come from the journey, not the destination.”

“Our learning is a journey, both individually and collectively. But then life too is a journey. A journey where the ride is more important than the destination.”
