"I tell you this to break your..." - Quote by Mary Oliver

“A mind that is lively and inquiring, compassionate, curious, angry, full of music, full of feeling, is a mind full of possible poetry.”

“My work is loving the world.”

“I took one look and fell, hook and tumble.”

“You cannot have a desire to surrender because that's non-surrender. Surrender arises spontaneously sometimes in people who don't even have a word for it. And I know that openness is there in many people.”

“Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.”

“Remember to let her into your heart.”

“The mind has its arrangement; it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.”

“Nor seek, for this is also sooth,To hunger fiercely after truth,Lest all thy toiling only breedsNew dreams, new dreams; there is no truthSaving in thine own heart.”

“The ear is the avenue to the heart.”
