Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.

You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.

What surrounds us we endure better for giving it a name – and moving on.

Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

Every mother contains her daughter in herself, and every daughter, her mother; and every mother extends backwards into her mother, and forwards into her daughter.

Looking at the whole world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery.
