“You fight your superficiality, your shallowness, so as to try to come at people without unreal expectations, without an overload of bias or hope or arrogance, as untanklike as you can be, sans cannon and machine guns and steel plating half a foot thick; you come at them unmenacingly on your own ten toes instead of tearing up the turf with your caterpillar treads, take them on with an open mind, as equals, man to man, as we used to say, and yet you never fail to get them wrong. You might as well have the brain of a tank. You get them wrong before you meet them, while you're anticipating meeting them; you get them wrong while you're with them; and then you go home to tell somebody else about the meeting and you get them all wrong again. Since the same generally goes for them with you, the whole thing is really a dazzling illusion. ... The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to forget being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that -- well, lucky you.”

“What's your name?" he asked above the roar of the music.
She leaned close. "My name is Wind," she whispered. "And Rain. And Bone and Dust. My name is a snippet of a half-remembered song."
He chuckled a low, delightful sound. She was drunk and silly, and so full of the glory of being young and alive and in the capital of the world that she could hardly contain herself.
"I have no name," she purred. "I am whoever the keepers of my fate tell me to be."
He grasped her by her wrist, running a thumb along the sensitive sknin underneath. "Then let me call you Mine for a dance or two.”

“A term Significant describes its quality, not quantity, as quote and couplet, verdict, butter, perfume, honey, and such extracts can be Significant; whereas, a lengthy article, and judiciary, or milk, flowers and fruits may not. Similarly, a few meaningful words about celebrities define as Significant than a meaningless lengthy article, when a journalistic writer writes such wide-scale passages that value as Gold and when it writes a scholar that becomes Diamond. Thus, never consider Significant should be lengthy; otherwise, you commit that you are ignorant.”

“I know you feel it in your bones that you are meant to do something significant.
But who defines what this “significant� purpose is?
It’s our ego that says that, not your heart.
Our true selves, which the heart reflects, knows no hierarchy, no rank in actions. It does not judge an activity as being superior or inferior to another activity. Your heart only knows joy and no joy, resonance and dissonance.
Ask your heart, what is it you find joy in?
What resonates with you?
What can you lose yourself in these days?
Even if you answer these questions with a mundane, ordinary activity, know that that is your purpose right now. Know that doing that is going to help you align with your core self and become a great channel to bring forth original thoughts, thoughts that shake the world.
Let your daily practice be formed out of joy, not out of discipline. And if it doesn’t give you joy, take a rest. Move away from it for now. And come back to it later when you can enjoy it.”
