Sex is difficult, yes. But they are difficult things with which we have been charged...If you only recognize this and manage out of yourself, out of your own nature and ways, out of your own experience and childhood and strength to achieve a relation to sex wholly your own (not influenced by convention and custom) then you need no longer be afraid of losing yourself and becoming unworthy of your best possession.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

Be patient with all that is uncertain in your heart...do not search for answers, which will not be given: you will not be able to live them, and its importat to live everything.

What batters you becomes your strength.

As the arrow endures the string, and in the gathering momentum becomes more than itself. Because to stay is to be nowhere.

Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?

And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.
