Quotes edit see section history

• “Not all of me shall die.”

• “In life, whethere you meet your aspirations or not, the only important thing is the passionate interest, that true-north needle keeping you focused.”

• “Who would not be happy, this far in the country? Happiness, what an elusive elf, how to hold happiness, how to find it, how to live inside a great happiness of your own making? The Sustainability of Happiness—some philosopher should write a treatise. Maybe it would be very long, or perhaps it would be only a few sentences.”

• Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers

• SINCE A LARGE percentage of control over fate doesn’t exist, how to go forward? Cultivate interior life as though it were a garden sanctuary. Give away what you can. Squander your love.

• Living well in time means taking back time from the slave-masters—obligations, appointments, the dreary round of details that attach like leeches in a stagnant pond. During intense periods of work, restoration projects, family crises, health scares, I want to wake up at first light, pull on hiking boots, and set off for an hour while the birds are still practicing their doxologies. Wasted hours—they were mine; I meant to use them before they slipped through the hourglass.
