"It was a bewildering thought, but the history of literature is the history of bewilderment. Writers all over the world and all across history have been bewildered by the world and all the things in it they cannot imagine, which is why they are—we are—writing them down, to try and imagine them."

"It was many years ago, but not a week goes by that I do not think about it, and wonder what on earth was going through my mind. [...] I get sad, when I think of my own wicked acts, although I suppose if I weren’t sad about them it would mean I didn’t care. I’m glad that I care, so I’m a little happy that I’m sad. But in any case I will never see them again, so I will never get to apologize, which makes me sad all over again. When you apologize, it is a bit like reaching the last page of a book. The book is still there, with your wicked deed inside, but at least it is closed and put on a shelf. Every single thing I ought to have apologized for, and didn’t, is like a book lying open and unfinished. When I do get to apologize, I like to say of my bad deed, “That was not my finest hour,”and although “finest hour”is a phrase which means “a time when I was at my best,”I like to think of my finest hour as an actual hour in which I am at my most true and good. I don’t know when this hour is, whether it is in my future or if it went by unnoticed in my past, but I keep watch for those sixty shiny minutes. I know they are somewhere."

"Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me. For could the sun do that, then could I do the other; since there is ever a sort of fair play herein"

They say to tune in your frequency cause you attract your own vibe. Well to do that you first got to know how you vibin' and that's shadow work. Study yourself, try to understand where you are right now in your life, start pinpointing what makes you react in a bad way, think about why. You are not the things you dont like about yourself. You are not anger. You are not sadness. Those things are there but they're not you. They wouldn't make you so sad if they were.

So do shadow work. Get to know the real you. And the moment you clean yourself of the spiritual mud on your soul, you'll fall in love with your true self. 

Thank god we're not all this anger and imperfection. Inside us there's something untouched by that. Something ever clean that only wishes love and justice. Tune in with that. That's god. That's you.
