    ~ David Deida quotes from The way of the Superior Man

  • This, I believe, is the great Western truth: that each of us is a completely unique creature and that, if we are ever to give any gift to the world, it will have to come out of our own experience and fulfillment of our own potentialities, not someone else’s.

    ~ Joseph Campbell quotes from The Power of Myth

There are quick—and wonderful—seminars, workshops, books, and audios that give you tools, but they are not quick tools. They are to be used and mastered throughout a lifetime.

    ~ Susan Jeffers quotes from Feel the Fear…And Do It Anyway
