32. “I shall be the wild park in the midst of the nightmare of perfection, the still, unshakeable dream in the midst of frenzied activity, the random shot on the white billiard table of logic, I shall know neither how to weep nor protest, but I shall be there always in absolute silence to receive and to restore.”
Henry Miller
Perfection, Silence, Existence, Chaos, Reflection, Balance
40. “If you have never been at sea in a heavy gale, you can form no idea of the confusion of mind occasioned by wind and spray together. They blind, deafen, and strangle you, and take away all power of action or reflection.” Edgar Allan Poe Nature, Chaos, Experience, Philosophical Insight, Emotional Disorientation, Existential Fear
49. “Lacking a clear formula for making decisions, we get reactive and fall back on familiar, comfortable ways to decide what to do. Pinballing through our day like a confused character in a B-horror movie, we end up running up the stairs instead of out the front door. The best decision gets traded for any decision.” Gary Keller Decision Making, Reactive Habits, Daily Planning, Chaos, Strategy, Improvement
51. “Like a savage tigress that tossing in the jungle overlays her own cubs, so the sea dashes even the mightiest whales against the rocks, and leaves them there side by side with the split wrecks of ships. No mercy, no power but its own controls it. Panting and snorting like a mad battle steed that has lost its rider, the masterless ocean overruns the globe.” Herman Melville Sea, Nature, Power, Violence, Survival, Chaos
52. “Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at; and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does.” Virginia Woolf Creative Madness, Passion Expression, Inspiration, Depth, Intensity, Chaos
