I am silent.

John LockeEvery instinct that is found in any man is in all men. The strength of the emotion may not be so overpowering, the barriers against possession not so insurmountable, the urge to accomplish the desire less keen. With some, inhibitions and urges may be neutralized by other tendencies. But with every being the primal emotions are there.

Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?

William EckhardtPuzzles are great because they're fun. But really we are drawn to puzzles because they can be solved. We love the idea of being able to put a puzzle together and it being complete: you do it perfectly, step away, and you've completed the job.

But emotions just don't work that way, people don't work that way, relationships don't work that way.

The perfect creative stance is satisfaction where I am, and eagerness for more.
