“Flight usually intensifies the very thing one flees and establishes a special intimacy with it.”

“It is very important to pray and work more during your life's stage of sensation and experience. Intimacy well-handed is power and fame well-established.”

“Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the moon than it is to penetrate one's own being.”

“If you are made for flight, intended for it,you had better find a pursuer, fast.Otherwise, all that fleeing is going nowhere.”

“But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.”

“We never keep to the present. We recall the past; we anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us, and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is. The fact is the present usually hurts.”
