“There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. There is a delight in the hardy life of the open... Apart from this, yet mingled with it, is the strong attraction of the silent places, of the large tropic moons, and the splendor of the new stars; where the wanderer sees the awful glory of sunrise and sunset in the wide waste spaces of the earth, unworn of man, and changed only by the slow change of the ages through time everlasting.” MenAgeEarthSpiritStrongStarsSpaceMysteryChangedMoonWasteGlorySilentDelightWideAttractionAwfulCharmSunsetWildernessMelancholySunriseEverlastingSplendorRough TimesHardyWanderersSunrise And Sunset Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“I have always had this very strong, call it a feeling, call it a prejudice, call it a conviction ... that the mysteries are not easily available. You have to earn entrance into them. You didn't learn things for too little. You had to pay a price. And I felt that LSD was just blasting superhighways into the mysteries. And what I really didn't like about LSD is that people who were taking it were seeming to become less and less as they took it. They got emptier and more vapid.” PeopleLittlesFeelingsStrongFeltPayMysteryPrejudiceConvictionAvailableVery StrongSeemingEntrancesLsdVapid Author:Norman Mailer

“Mystery fiction is, after all, a substitute for tranquilizers, strong drink, and bad, if diverting, companions. One slips into bed ... onto the train ... into the chair in the sickroom ... and is suddenly transported to a place where light fights dark and wins. When the story's over, one is left without a hangover, without remorse. Can any other opiate make that claim?” IfsStoriesLightFightingWinningLeftStrongDarkFictionMysteryDrinkBedClaimsTrainChairsCompanionSubstitutesSlipsRemorseHangoverOpiatesStrong Drink Author:Mary Cantwell

“A scientist's life, the author says, is indeed conflictual, formed by battles, defeats, and victories: but the adversary is always and only the unknown, the problem to be solved, the mystery to be clarified. It is never a matter of civil war; even though of different opinions, or of different political leanings, scientists dispute each other, they compete, but they do not battle: they are bound together by a strong alliance, by the common faith "in the validity of Maxwell's or Boltzmann's equations," and by the common acceptance of Darwinism and the molecular structure of DNA.” DifferentWarMatterProblemTogetherPoliticalStrongCommonOpinionMysteryAcceptanceVictoryBattleScientistStructureBoundsDefeatCivil WarDnaEquationsDisputesAdversariesAlliancesValidityDarwinismDifferent OpinionsMaxwell Author:Primo Levi

“You cannot grow in the integrative dance of action and contemplation without a strong tolerance for ambiguity, an ability to allow, forgive, and contain a certain degree of anxiety, and a willingness to not know-and not even need to know. This ever widens and deepens your perspective. This is how you allow and encounter Mystery and move into the contemplative zone.” KnowsNeedsActionMovingCertainStrongGrowsAbilityMysteryPerspectiveDegreesAnxietyForgivingToleranceContemplationEncountersZoneWillingnessAmbiguityContemplative Author:Richard Rohr
“We kissed, then, and the ardour of her kiss stole my breath away. I returned her passion with all the fervor I possessed. A lifetime of vows and heart-felt disciplines had prepared me well, for in that kiss I sealed with all my soul the fate before me, embracing a mystery clothed in warm and yielding female flesh. Holding only the moment, with neither thought nor care for the future, I kissed her, and drank deep the strong wine of desire.” WellsHeartSoulMomentsCareDesirePassionStrongFeltFateMysteryDisciplineKissingFemaleBreathsWinePreparedLifetimeWarmFleshMy SoulPossessedVowDrankFervorHeart Felt Author:Stephen R.

“Well, here he was. They could save each other, the way the poets promised lovers should. He was mystery, he was darkness, he was all she had dreamed of. And if she would only free him he would service her - oh yes - until her pleasure reached that threshold that, like all thresholds, was a place where the strong grew stronger, and the weak perished. Pleasure was pain there, and vice versa.

“In love at one of its poles you find the personal, and at the other the impersonal. At one you have the positive assertion — Here I am; at the other the equally strong denial — I am not. Without this ego what is love? And again, with only this ego how can love be possible? Bondage and liberation are not antagonistic in love. For love is most free and at the same time most bound. If God were absolutely free there would be no creation. The infinite being has assumed unto himself the mystery of finitude. And in him who is love the finite and the infinite are made one.” IfsLifeMadeWould BeStrongLove IsMysteryCreationEgoInfiniteBoundsDenialLiberationFiniteBondageAssertionHere I AmWhat Is LoveFinitude Author:Rabindranath Tagore
