"To me, or at least the way ... when I teach it, all type of knowledge is ultimately means self-knowledge; so therefore they are coming to ... I mean they ... ask me to teach them not so much of how to defend themselves or how to ..., rather, they want to learn to express themselves through some movement, be it anger, be it determination or what-so-ever."

"I can not teach you; only help you to explore yourself, nothing more."

"Don't think! Feel!"

"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."

While I was sitting one night with a poet friend watching a great opera performed in a tent under arc lights, the poet took my arm and pointed silently. Far up, blundering out of the night, a huge cecropia moth swept past from light to light over the posturings of the actors. "He doesn't know," my friend whispered excitedly. "He’s passing through an alien universe brightly lit but invisible to him. He's in another play; he doesn't see us. He doesn' know. Maybe it's happening right now to us."

- Loren Eiseley

“Have you been to The Land of Happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy, There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy -
What a bore!”

- Shel Silverstein

“When the light turns green, you go.
When the light turns red, you stop.
But what do you do when the light turns blue
with orange and lavender spots?”

"O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities fill'd with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light--of the objects mean--of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all--of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest--with the rest me intertwined;

The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer:

That you are here. That life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse."

- Walt Whitman

"What will your verse be?"
- Keating in Death Poet's Society

"How long does it take to become free of identification with the pain-body?

It takes no time at all. When the pain-body is activated, know that what you are feeling is the pain-body in you. This knowing is all that is needed to break your identification with it. And when identification with it ceases, the transmutation begins. The knowing prevents the old emotion from rising up into your head and taking over not only only the internal dialogue, but also your actions as well as interactions with other people, This means the pain-body cannot use you anymore and re-new itself through you. The old emotion may then still live in you for a while and come up periodically. It may also still occasionally trick you into identifying with it again and thus obscure the knowing, but not for long. Not projecting the old emotion into situations means facing it directly within yourself. It may not be pleasant, but it won't kill you. Your Presence is more than capable of containing it."

From A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle.

This is beautiful.

All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
