“Aphorists are far from harmless. They are troublemakers and iconoclasts, dogmatists whose majestic authority commands consent. They are, by definition, revolutionaries who hold their truths to be self-evident.”

Do not judge God‘s world from your own. Trim your hedge as you wish and plant your flowers in the patterns you can understand, but do not judge the garden of nature from your little window-box.

"A kite is a contract of glory
that must be made with the sun,
so you make friends with the field
the river and the wind,
then you pray the whole cold night before,
under the travelling cordless moon,
to make you worthy and lyric and pure."
Leonard Cohen

Aphorisms :
Genuine progress moves backwards to first principles.
A good teacher is a good hinter.
For the poet, ambiguity is a wider precision.
You never get anywhere unless you go too far.
A window is the cruelest wall.
—Steven Henry Miller, Makings
