longing


Random quote of the day:

“Always we want to learn from the outside, from absorbing other people’s knowledge. It’s safer that way. The trouble is that it’s always other people’s knowledge. We already have everything we need to know, in the darkness inside ourselves. The longing is what turns us inside out until we find the sun and the moon and stars inside.”

—Peter Kingsley, In the Dark Places of Wisdom

Random quote of the day:

“The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing—to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from… the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.”

—C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

Random quote of the day:

 

“The time of longing in your life is beautiful. All possibilities are ahead of you. You think you want to make something happen, but when it does—you finally publish a story, you publish a book, someone reviews your book favorably—you realize that the bliss lies in the moment you pluck a metaphor from thin air. It lies in the time spent at your desk.”

—Patricia Henley, “The Potholder Model of Literary Ambition,” Glitter Train Bulletin 20, September 2008
