We spend our life until weโre twenty deciding what parts of ourself to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again.
Robert BlyDon't go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don't bother with that excursion. Inside your body there are flowers. One flower has a thousand petals. That will do for a place to sit. Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens.
Robert BlyOne man wrote me, saying, 'You know who you are? You're nothing but a Captain Bly pissing up a drainpipe!'
