“I'm going down
Follow if you want
I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas
So don't ask me how
To get started
It's all uncharted”

Sara Bareilles (1979) American pop rock singer-songwriter and pianist

"Uncharted"
Lyrics, Kaleidoscope Heart (2009)

“When I try to forget you, your memories always makes a thousands question, when they don't get answers to questions, then your memories starts quarrels with me. I'm get lost in labyrinth of your memories because your memories make me desperate, how can I go away from you and from your memories, because your memories follow me everywhere and every moment.”

Shabdon Ka Jahan

“If anybody tries to play the game of "follow the guru" with me, they will be lost, for they will learn that I am just as confused as they are. The difference may be that I know it.”

Leo Buscaglia (1924–1998) Motivational speaker, writer

Living, Loving, and Learning (1982)
Context: About two years ago a young lady came into my office, and I knew immediately something was wrong. Her eyes were kind of glazed, and her head was nodding, and I asked, "What's the matter" She replied, "Oh, Dr. Buscaglia, in order to get enough courage to come to see you, I had to drink a whole bottle of Ripple! And I think I am going to be sick!" Imagining... having to drink a bottle of Ripple to summon up the courage to come to see me. All I do is put my hands out and say, "Hi." I cover their hands with mine and lead them into my office, and I can see a look of panic on their faces, "What's he going to do to me?" I am not going to do anything to you! I just want you to know that I cry, too, and I feel, too, and I care, too, and I don't know everything, too, and therefore, we can start with a common frame of reference — human being to human being. If anybody tries to play the game of "follow the guru" with me, they will be lost, for they will learn that I am just as confused as they are. The difference may be that I know it. A Buddhist teacher once said to me, "Why do you keep moving? You are already there." And all of a sudden it occurred to me — my goodness, I am!
