Puzzle Quotes

“I find so many opportunities to fall, to falter, and fail when I refuse to surrender to change. Change will come into my room and rearrange my tidy world. Then like dominoes, one things changed falls upon another until it feels like the world is collapsing around me. But when I yield, when I surrender to the necessary change, I can stand back and look at the beautiful picture created by what seemed to be my world falling apart.”

“Wir sind Teil eines großen Ganzen, und meistens erkennen wir erst in der Rückschau, welch wunderschönes buntes Motiv wir gemeinsam erschaffen haben. Du bist wie ein Puzzleteil, George, und ein solches hat immer mehrere Seiten. Nur weil mit mir eines Deiner Nachbarstücke gegangen ist, heißt das nicht, dass Du jetzt für Dich alleine stehst. Es gibt noch drei weitere perfekt passende Anschlussstücke.”

“What I found was that solving the puzzle of addiction was not as simple as refraining from certain substances, people, and activities, and replacing them with healthier ones. Physical and social changes like these helped and were a necessary part of my recovery, but they were not enough.”

“Ja, jetzt! Das ist auch einfach. Aber andere Situationen sind nicht so leicht zu entschlüsseln. Das ist ja mein Problem! Ich bekomme Angstanfälle in Momenten, in denen ich überhaupt nicht traurig bin. In denen scheinbar alles in Ordnung ist. Und dann denke und denke und denke ich. Versuche, in meinem Kopf zusammenzufügen, was nicht zusammengehört. Mein Kopf ist wie ein minderwertig produziertes Puzzlespiel, die eizelnen Stücke sind schlecht ausgestanzt und passen einfach nicht zusammen! Es macht mich wahnsinnig immer auf der Suche nach einer Ursache zu sein. Die ganzen Möglichkeiten rennen in meinem Kopf durcheinander wie eine aufmüpfige Kindergartengruppe. Alles schreit und will nicht in einer Reihe stehen!”

“Why does Sri Krishna say in the Gita that whenever the evil forces raise their head he appears on earth to support the righteous ones? Why does he rather not bring a final end to the perpetual fight between good and evil, instead? Why should evil rise again and again? Mankind is tired of perpetually facing the onslaught of evil. Why does it not get crushed once and for all? Why does God not make it happen? This question often puzzles us.”

“Every person I ever knew or had come across always spoke about falling in love with the rain. They dreamt of dancing in it like there is no tomorrow but I never heard someone speaking about falling in love with a wildfire. No, it is not for the weaker ones. The moment you fall in love with the wildfire, it starts burning everything that you have ever built or grown all these years around you. It changes the way you had always imagined and looked at how the love would be, making you end up homeless. It makes you a weakness intertwined with strength, a love intertwined with hatred. It makes you a puzzle that you yourself could never solve.”

“At cocktail parties, I played the part of a successful businessman's wife to perfection. I smiled, I made polite chit-chat, and I dressed the part. Denial and rationalization were two of my most effective tools in working my way through our social obligations. I believed that playing the roles of wife and mother were the least I could do to help support Tom's career. During the day, I was a puzzle with innumerable pieces. One piece made my family a nourishing breakfast. Another piece ferried the kids to school and to soccer practice. A third piece managed to trip to the grocery store. There was also a piece that wanted to sleep for eighteen hours a day and the piece that woke up shaking from yet another nightmare. And there was the piece that attended business functions and actually fooled people into thinking I might have something constructive to offer. I was a circus performer traversing the tightwire, and I could fall off into a vortex devoid of reality at any moment. There was, and had been for a very long time, an intense sense of despair. A self-deprecating voice inside told me I had no chance of getting better. I lived in an emotional black hole. p20-21, talking about dissociative identity disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder).”

“It is a conundrum, this reality of which we speak. And if you do not find joy in the puzzle itself, you will only have isolated moments of stamped-and-approved joy ("I graduated!" "I got the job!" "I'm getting married!" "I won the prize!" "See, I have the picture!" "It's posted online!" "It got so many likes!") and those scrumptious, unexpected ones that take you by surprise-- a sunset, a leaf dancing in the wind, a baby's glee with a wayward bubble, fireworks. As I often say, I am ultimately drawn to-- and stay closest to-- the people who can be satisfied with a state of dissatisfaction, who can find joy in the puzzle itself, who want to play with the puzzle--gnaw on the conundrum--more than they want to finish it.”

“I am that piece of a puzzle, which would never fit in any puzzles out there. I am that sky, which refused to turn blue every morning. I am that bird, which always had broken wings and yet always tried harder to fly. And I am that tunnel, which neither had a beginning nor end but one could always see the light at both the ends.”
