Amuse yourself, torment your desires. Drink when you’re thirsty – that would be very much too simple !

If you didn’t harbour a temptation eternally in your soul, you’d run the risk of forgetting yourself.

– Jean-Paul Sartre –

You make me thirsty, Promethea, my river, you make me eternally thirsty, my water. As if I had spent my life in an old house of dried mud, so dry myself that I could not even thirst, until yesterday. And suddenly yesterday, the dusty floor of my old house burst open and while I was still dozing away my parched existence, drop by drop I heard the music of coolness awaken the thirst under my dry soul. And leaning over the dark shaft of my life, I saw my childhood springs unearthed. Is that always how (by accident) we rediscover Magdalenian riches?

– Hélène Cixous – The Book of Promethea

By embracing your subconscious, you gain a different way of seeing and experiencing—an expanded perception that opens a doorway, not only to lucid dreams, but also to the mythic dimension.

As in lucid dreams, you see yourself or others with new eyes; your senses awaken and grasp an experience more fully than ever before; suddenly, you find your ears are open to hear with a deeper understanding.

– Jenny Davidow –

… slow down, every now and then,

for no other reason than to call someone to say ‘Hi.’

Just calling out of the blue does more to let someone know you still care about them …

– Simon Sinek –
