Quote of the day

"Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

This is a quote i have to keep telling myself. This is one of my favorite!

"There is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life,making itsy-bitsy statues. There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys fo ritsy-bitsy years on end. It is so self-conscious,so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the cracks and the winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. I won't have it. The world is wilder than that. in all directions. more dangerous and bitter; more extravagant and bright. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee. We are raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus."
Thomas Merton

"Don't bend. don't water it down. don't try to make it logical. Don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."

"The dream might have been more than a dream. It was as if a door in the wall of reality had come ajar... and now all sorts of unwelcome things were flying through." ~ Stephen King

Thanks for this reminder and the laugh it gave me, @jerry old !

When I read his name, Franz Kafka, I did remember his writings and viewpoints in general,
