We can make ourselves whole only by accepting our partiality, by living within our limits, by being humans not by trying to be gods.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.

We're living, it seems, in the culmination of a long warfare - warfare against human beings, other creatures and the Earth itself.

I have always loved a window, especially an open one.

What can't be helped must be endured.
