I want to have a lasting experience of God… Sometimes I feel like I understand the divinity of this world, but then I lose it because I get distracted by my petty desires and fears.  I want to be with God all the time, but I don't want to be a monk, or totally give up worldly pleasures.  I guess what I want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God.
                                - Elizabeth Gilbert

Doubt is an unpleasant emotion, but certainty is absurd.

I am the woman of an ancient master
to whom I swore eternal devotion.
I am a woman of colored glass
through whom passes every changing with colors.
I am the woman of No One
and perhaps I am not even a woman.

I do see the good in people, but I also see the bad - I see it in myself. I know what I'm capable of, good and bad…. Just because I often find a way around the darkness doesn't mean that I don't know it's there.
                  - Bono

Beyond a hundred steps of wisdom,
I will be free from good and bad.
Behind the veils I will find such Splendor,
such Beauty,
that I will fall in love with Myself.
                     - Rumi
