By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together. The unity of the world rests on the pursuit of passion.
—Brian Swimme

Let the beauty of what we love be what we do
—Rumi

Live the questions now.  Perhaps you will gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
