The drop of pure rose oil or the cologne that mixes that one drop with many other things in order to make it affordable enough? It takes 60,000 roses to make a single ounce of rose oil. In simplicity there is value, there is meaning. Complexity is what happens when value and meaning are watered down. Don’t play games with pure-hearted people; they don’t need your rubbish. And don’t try to water them down so you can afford them.”

“Complexity’s biggest dangers arise when we are mired in assumptions and boxed into existing sectors and industries instead of noticing new patterns on the fringe and changes emerging over time.”

“Compliant children are very easily led when they are young, because they thrive on approval and pleasing adults. They are just aseasily led in their teen years, because they still seek the same two things: approval and the pleasing their peers. Strong-willed children are never easily led by anybody--not by you, but also not by their peers. So celebrate your child's strength of will throughout the early years...and know that the independent thinking you are fostering will serve him well in the critical years to come.”
“Complicated Grief was written in larger and more coherent (if disparate) shapes. The question was how they fit together. The mind is coherent, trust that was the best writing advice I ever got (I got it from Carole Maso and I pass it on). It's true, and clearer and clearer as one grows and gains an improved sense of who one actually is (as versus who one was supposed to be).”

complicated words.
The best way to communicate is silence,
but even silence can be misunderstood.
I stand here saying nothing.
Why can’t you understand my silence?
I’m standing here screaming my head off,
but no sound is coming out.
I have to accept that no one can hear me.
I’m invisible, I’m soundless.
Within my world,
and only within my world do I exist,
but out here, no one can see me,
no one can hear me.
I’m the only one here,
screaming my head off,
in the most beautiful, silent sound.
Loud am I,
when nothing can be heard.
Silence is my language till everyone learns to hear.
Listen and feel the silence within you,
without you.”

“Comporre il poema della coscienza umana, foss'anche per un solo uomo, foss'anche per l'infimo degli uomini, significherebbe fondere tutte le epopee in un'epopea superiore e definitiva. La coscienza è il caos delle chimere, delle cupidigie e dei tentativi, la fornace dei sogni, l'antro delle idee di cui ci vergogniamo, il pandemonio dei sofismi, il campo di battaglia delle passioni. Penetrate in certe ore attraverso il liquido volto di un essere umano che riflette e guardate dentro, guardate in quell'anima, guardate in quell'oscurità. Sotto il silenzio esteriore, si svolgono là lotte di giganti come in Omero, zuffe di draghi e di idre e vi sono nugoli di fantasmi come in Milton, gironi popolati da visioni come in Dante.
Cupo infinito che ogni uomo porta dentro di sé e sul quale regola disperato le volontà del suo cervello e gli atti della sua vita!”
