Insight.
Sunday Inspiration. Post by David Joel Miller.
“A stumble may prevent a fall.”
― Thomas Fuller
“I used to say to my classes that the ways to get insight are: to study infants; to study animals; to study primitive people; to be psychoanalyzed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it, or to have a love affair with an old Russian. And I stopped saying that when a little dancer in the front row put up her hand and said, ‘Does he have to be old?”
― Margaret Mead
“I’m simply interested in what is going to happen next. I don’t think I can control my life or my writing. Every other writer I know feels he is steering himself, and I don’t have that feeling. I don’t have that sort of control. I’m simply becoming. I’m startled that I became a writer.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
“Special insight arises from its cause, correct view, which in turn arises from listening and contemplation.”
― Dalai Lama XIV, Stages of Meditation
