Alan Watts
Image

The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.
Basilea Schlink

Friedrich Nietzsche

The difficulty of having a mind that understands that it will always be misunderstood.
Nicole Krauss
Image
As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods.

Perhaps my early problems with dyslexia made me more intuitive: when someone sends me a written proposal, rather than dwelling on detailed facts and figures I find that my imagination grasps and expands on what I read.
