How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.

What does tamed mean? It's something that's been too often neglected. It means to create ties.

Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.

Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world…if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow

We are forever responsible for that which we have tamed.

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
