Secret societies, a language kept as far as possible secret, the use of false names in order to hide secret movements, secret relations between various parts of the Jewish body: all these and other forms of secrecy have become the national method.” UseBodyFormOrderNamesLanguageSecretGenerationsMovementHabitWeaponsRelationMethodInstinctJewVariousRelySecrecyRely UponSecret Society Book:Belloc: A Biographical Anthology Source: Belloc: A Biographical Anthology
“The secret of adventure, then, is not to carefully seek it out but to travel in such a way that it finds you. To do this, you first need to overcome the protective habits of home and open yourself up to unpredictability.

More often than not, you'll discover that “adventure” is a decision after the fact-a way of deciphering an event or an experience that you can't quite explain.” WorldWayNeedsFirstsFactsHomeRealitySimpleDecisionSecretPracticeEventsAdventureHabitExpectationsOvercomingOpennessProtectiveUnpredictability Author:Rolf Potts

“We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything. Several new science papers suggest that getting away is an essential habit of effective thinking. When we escape from the place we spend most of our time, the mind is suddenly made aware of all those errant ideas we'd previously suppressed. We start thinking about obscure possibilitiebsthat never would have occurred to us if we'd stayed home.” IfsThinkingNeedsMindHas BeensMadeStillsIdeasHomeDifferencesSecretCreativityChangedHabitEssentialsPaperDistanceOur TimeGet AwayObscurePapersHome Home Author:Jonah Lehrer
