…eat Work. To seize this opportunity, he must give up a steady job with good prospects and as near safety as is possible in the nature of things, for a slim chance of a career in the most insecure of all the professions. He can do it; that is at the mercy of his Will; but he risks something very close to the utter wreck and ruin of his future. Only a miracle can bring him through. Just so! But is he not neglecting one factor in his problem? Who put this romantically insane opportunity in his way? The Gods: it must be, since he is performing the …
…ey shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this. Commentary: Drunkenness is a curse and a hindrance only to slaves. Shelley’s couriers were “drunk on the wind of their own

A tree grows deformed if it be crowded by other trees or by masonry; and gunpowder will not explode it its particles are separated by much sand.

…nker, that I had a certain talent for finance, and got me. a job as private secretary. I really did take to it like a duck to water, and things have gone very well for me ever since. But London isn’t the place for men with real ambition. It doesn’t afford the scope. It’s either Paris or New York for yours sincerely, Elgin Feccles.” I don’t know why I didn’t believe a word of the tale ; but I didn’t. The heroin was working beautifully. I hadn’t the slightest inclination to talk to Haidée. In the same way she took no notice of me. She never utter…
… among you between anyone thing & any other thing, for thereby there cometh hurt." He who knows the Tao knows it to be the source of all things soever; the most exalted spiritual ecstasy and the most trivial internal impression are from our point of view equally illusions, worthless masks, which hide, with grotesque painted pasteboard false and lifeless, the living face of truth. Yet, from another point of view, they are equally expressions of the ecstatic genius of truth-natural images of the reaction between the essence of one's self and one'…
…ove and peace, draw nigh, Hover with shadowy wings ! I.et shining shapes of ecstasy Cover the frail blue veil of sky, And speak immortal things ! Dream, lady, dream through summer noon, Lulled by the sleepy tune!
…are banished from the course of nature. Both of them open up a seemingly boundless vista of possibilities to him who knows the causes of things and can touch the secret springs that set in motion the vast and intncate mechanism of the worid. Hence the strong attraction which magic and science alike hâve exercised on the human mindj hence the powerful stimulus that both hâve given to the pursuit of knowledge. They lure the weary enquirer, the footsore seeker, on through the wilderness of disappointment in the présent by their endless promises of…

But to love me is better than ail things: if under the night-stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt corne a little to lie in my bosom.

… As a family man, it was my duty to buy as many jewels for Lou as I could afford. At the same time, one has to be cautious. I bought the things I mentioned and paid for them. I refused to be tempted by a green pearl tie pin for myself, though I should have liked to have had it be- cause it would have reminded me of Lou’s eyes every time I put it on. But it was really rather expensive, and Mr. Wolfe had warned me very seriously about getting into debt, so I paid for the rest of the stuff, and we went off, and we thought we'd drive out to the Boi…
…h of feeling to curse in the Morse code with ones feetah! how we hated him. Dodu explained to me that he was telling me these obvious things for several reasons: (1) to gauge my intelligence by my reception of them; (2) to make sure that if we failed it should be by my stupidity and not by his neglect to inform me of every detail; (3) because he had acquired the professorial habit as another man might have the gout. Briefly, however, this was his plan; to elude the guards, make for the coast, capture a boat, and put to sea. Do you understan…
…igence which incites the functions into the paths of virtue and vice “am I.” All this universe, moveable and immoveable, is from me; all things are seen through me; all are absorbed into me;* because there exists nothing but spirit, and “I am that spirit.” There exists nothing else. 35. As in innumerable cups full of water, many reflections of the sun are seen, but the substance is the same; similarly individuals, like cups, are innumerable, but the vivifying spirit like the sun is one. 49.

…lain fact is that I had become a desperate wild animal. I was too hungry, so to speak, even to waste any time on thinking bitterly about things. And then came the letter from the lawyers. That was another new experience. I had no idea before of the depths to which servility could descend. “ By the way, Sir Peter,’’ said Mr. Wolfe, ‘it will, of course, take a little while to settle up these matters. It’s a very large estate, very large. But I thought that with times as they are, you wouldn’t be offended, Sir Peter, if we handed you an open chequ…

And above all things, don’t get a fit of repentance and take too little to-day and to- ' morrow. If you do, you'll have another relapse. I know it sounds as though I were contradicting myself.

…t there are no rules until one finds them: a man leaving Ire land for the Sahara does well to discard such “indispensable” and “proper” things as a waterproof and a blackthorn for a turban and a dagger. The “moral” man is living by the no-reason of Laws, and that is stupid and inadequate even when the Laws still hold good; for he is a mere mechanism, resourceless should any danger that is not already provided for in his original design chance to arise. Respect for routine is the mark of the second-rate man. The “immoral” man, defying conventio…
…seemed to Him that the geomantic intelligences themselves were of a low order, the scope of which was confined to a small section of the things which interested Him* also, they possessed a point of view of their own which was far from sympathetic with His, so that misunder- standing constantly interfered with the Work.
