“The sad truth is that man’s real life consists of a complex of inexorable opposites—day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. We are not even sure that one will prevail against the other, that good will overcome evil, or joy defeat pain. Life is a battleground. It always has been and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end.”
― C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

“Every transformation demands as its precondition “the ending of a world”-the collapse of an old philosophy of life.”
― C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense.

— Mark Twain

It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.

Mark Twain

“If you say in your mind, ‘It can’t happen,’ you’re DONE! You’re training yourself to not even be able to imagine what you want! In your mind has to be the wildest, freest place where you have everything you’ve ever dreamed.
“You have to believe that something different than what has happened the past 50 million years can happen. Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity. What’s the point of being realistic?”

“Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.”

– Will Smith

I’ll believe it when I see it
Mmmm?

Watching and waiting for a friend to play with

Why have I been alone so long?

Mole, he is burrowing his way to the sunlight

He knows there’s someone there so strong

‘Cause here there’s lots of room for doing

The things you’ve always been denied

Look and gather all you want to

There’s no one here to stop you trying

Soon you will see me, ’cause I’ll be all around you

But where I come from I can’t tell

But don’t be alarmed by my fields and my forests

They’re here for only you to share

‘Cause here there’s lots of room for doing

The things you’ve always been denied

So look and gather all you want to

There’s no one here to stop you trying

Watching and waiting for someone to understand me

I hope it won’t be very long
