1 " God has hewn out a hidden path more glorious, tantalizing and adventuresome than the path trod by most, and it is a path seen only through the eyes of our wounds, felt solely through the heart of our losses, and singularly traversed by those with a limp in their step. "
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
2 " Once upon a time, [the guru] said, when God had finished making the world, he wanted to leave behind Him for man a piece of His own divinity, a spark of His essence, a promise to man of what he could become, with effort. He looked for a place to hide this Godhead because, he explained, what man could find too easily would never be valued by him." Then you must hide the Godhead on the highest mountain peak on earth," said one of His councilors.God shook His head. " No, for man is an adventuresome creature and he will soon enough learn to climb the highest mountain peaks." " Hide it then, O Great One, in the depths of the earth!" " I think not," said God, " for man will one day discover that he can dig into the deepest parts of the earth." " In the middle of the ocean then, Master?" God shook His head. " I've given man a brain, you see, and one day he'll learn to build ships and cross the mightiest oceans." " Where then, Master?" cried His councilors.God smiled. " I'll hide it in the most inaccessible place of all, and the one place that man will never think to look for it. I'll hide it deep inside of man himself. "
3 " [She had] a gay adventuresome spirit that was never to die, though it led her into curious places and she often found, at the end, only a trackless waste from which she had to retrace her steps painfully. But always, to her, red and green cabbages were to be jade and burgundy, chrysoprase and porphyry. Life has no weapons against a woman like that. "
