Sheldon B. Kopp
I have long trusted dreams as prophetic visions. I do not mean that they foretell the future, only that they illuminate the present, when my eyes are closed, so that I may see clearly.
Sheldon B. Kopp
So it is that there is nothing to be taught, but yet there is something to be learned.
Sheldon B. Kopp
Everything good is costly, and the development of the personality is one of the most costly of all things. It will cost you your innocence, your illusions, your certainty. (10)
Sheldon B. Kopp
In the long run we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving.
Sheldon B. Kopp
If outrageous imagination is the wine of madness, then come fill my cup.
