“Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will be certain to see something you have never seen before. Of course it will be a little thing, but do not ignore it. Follow it up, explore around it, and before you know it, something worth thinking about to occupy your mind.”

“Don't keep forever on the public road. Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.”

“The mind is always asking you to do something over again, something you have already done so many times before. And every time you see that by doing it nothing is achieved. What else can madness be?”

“The first time you see something that you have never seen before, you almost always know right away if you should eat it or run away from it.”

“Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it’s not all mixed up.”

“You think you want to know something, and then once you do, all you can think about is erasing it from your mind.”

“You need something to open up a new door, to show you something you seen before but overlooked a hundred times or more”

““Didn’t you ever see a cat before?”
“Of course I did,” said the boy. “Hundreds of them. But just because you’ve seen something, it doesn’t mean you stop looking. There’s always something you didn’t see before.””

“If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.”

“…deep-diving love, a love that excavates you. It’s something you have to have before you die in order to have lived.”
