“When you resist something that has been established for a long time it's like stepping into a highly charged electrical field the opposite to its charge and getting electrocuted. It took a lot of energy to create this object that you are trying to resist against, so it will take a lot of energy to shift it. In other words, its going to take a lot of work. But don't lose hope. Just like any dream worth achieving, it can take time. Make progress. Build a foundation. Surround yourself with like energies and you will create a force field of energy all around you.”

Riptide," I translated, surprised the Ancient Greek came so easily. Use it only for emergencies" Chiron said, "and only against monsters No hero should harm mortals unless absolutely, of course, but this sword wouldn't harm them in any case.”

“Voltaire rejects all systems, and suspects that “every chief of a sect in philosophy has been a little of a quack.” “The further I go, the more I am confirmed in the idea that systems of metaphysics are for philosophers what novels are for women.” “It is only charlatans who are certain. We know nothing of first principles. It is truly extravagant to define God, angels, and minds, and to know precisely why God formed the world, when we do not know why we move our arms at will." "Doubt is not a very agreeable state, but certainty is a ridiculous one.”
