More quotes by Robert Bly
The body weeps the tears the eyes never shed.
Robert Bly
Vertical attention is not the same as, and doesn't evolve from nor imply, hierarchy. We could say that hierarchy is associated with power, and vertical attention with longing for the Divine Feminine, for the Divine Masculine, for what the Sufis call 'wine.'
Robert Bly
I have risen to a body not yet born, existing like a light around a body through which the body moves like a sliding moon.
Robert Bly
The models of adulthood are disappearing fast. How can two people have a new marriage if neither of them is an adult?
Robert Bly
The door to the soul is unlocked you do not need to please the doorkeeper, the door in front of you is yours, intended for you, and the doorkeeper obeys when spoken to.
Robert Bly
Every breath taken in by the man Who loves, and the woman who loves, Goes to fill the water tank Where the spirit horses drink.
Robert Bly
A person who discreetly farts in an elevator is not a divine being, and a man needs to know this.
Robert Bly
As I've gotten older, I find I am able to be nourished more by sorrow and to distinguish it from depression.
Robert Bly
When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.
Robert Bly
To me, the hope lies in adults forgetting about their retirement and turning toward the adolescents and helping pull the adolescents over that mysterious line drawn on the ground into adulthood. If we don't do that, the adolescents are going to stay exactly where they are for the next 30 or 40 years.
Robert Bly
Siblings tend not to care much about boundaries and borders. Having worn each others' T-shirts, it's unlikely that they'd go to war over a border.
Robert Bly
I was unfaithful even to Infidelity.
Robert Bly
If we call the young ones, say 10 to 30 years old, 'siblings,' we can see they tend to be naturally ecological. They regard whales and owls as siblings too. That's a great advance.
Robert Bly
By the time a man is 35 he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man which he received in high school do not work in life.
Robert Bly
It’s all right if you grow your wings on the way down.
Robert Bly
The beginning of love is a horror of emptiness.
Robert Bly
There is no hierarchy in Japanese Buddhist poetry.
Robert Bly
Some people can't go into church any longer to feel this longing, but they still have the longing, so what do they do? Well, one thing you can do is what people do in prison they turn to poetry.
Robert Bly
Two birds fly past. They are needed somewhere.
Robert Bly
Don'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 Bly
