When
you make your living talking with people about complex ideas you are bound
to collect examples of colorful and profound quotes. We thought we'd
share some here and update them on a regular basis. If you like this
feature and would like it enlarged let us know. We are also always
interested in collecting new ones, so if you have a "goody"
please share it with us via the comments page
and we'll give you credit for the contribution! Please include the
source if you know it so we can give the author credit too. |

Out
beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about. |

Open Secret, Trans. by Coleman Barks |

“...for the
unconscious always tries to produce an impossible situation in order to
force the individual to bring out his very best.
Otherwise one stops short of one’s best, one is not complete, one
does not realize oneself. What
is needed is an impossible situation where one has to renounce one’s
will and one’s own wit and do nothing but trust the impersonal power of
growth and development.”

If you ever get these questions in the wrong order you are in
trouble!” |
