“What I know of spirit is astir in the world. The god I have always expected to appear at the woods' edge, beckoning, I have always expected to be a great relisher of this world, its good grown immortal in his mind.”

“although, i always follow the saying "Expect the Unexpected",when the good comes i act ordinarily but when its about the bad ones i act so surprised as i've never expected it i don't know why”

“In a word there seems to be the light of the outer world, of those who know the sun and moon emerge at such an hour and such another plunge again below the surface, and who rely on this, and who know that clouds are always to be expected but sooner or later always pass away, and mine. But mine too has its alterations, I will not deny it, its dusks and dawns, but that is what I say, for I too must have lived, once, out there, and there is no recovering from that.”

“I have to speak my mind. Because what is in my mind is always more interesting than what is happening in the world outside my mind.”
