“A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul. ”

“It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.”

“When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness. Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines, forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness.”

“Soul is to be found in the vicinity of taboo.”

“It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed”

“It's the pausing and the stopping, perhaps going backward and losing some time, not being able to do everything we're supposed to do, that serves the soul. That's the enchantment that feeds the soul.”

“Finding the right work is like discovering your own soul in the world.”
