1 " But for you to make this move would reveal the two fundamental tenets of true atheism. One: There is no God. Two: I hate Him. "
― Christopher Hitchens , Is Christianity Good for the World?
2 " I wouldn’t say “art” as much as “virtue,” in the ancient Greek sense of “andreia” – manly action – or “arete,” excellence. In my experience, Resistance kicks in any time we try to move ourselves from a lower plane to a higher. In other words, when we try to align with the better parts of our nature. This move can be creative (art) or physical (athletics) or it can be ethical, moral or spiritual. Have you ever tried to meditate? I have and it kicks my butt every time. Spiritual stuff is hard! But so is making “cold calls” if you’re opening a new business. Somehow the principle is the same. We’re trying to overcome our natural laziness, selfishness, sloppiness, etc. So I wouldn’t say “art,” I’d say “virtue. "
― Steven Pressfield
3 " And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness. "
― Sylvia Plath , The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
