I want now to be of today. It is painful to be conscious of two worlds. The Wandering Jew in me seeks forgetfulness..

I have so little mastered the art of tranquil living that wherever I go I trail storm clouds of drama around me..

It is not that I belong to the past, but the past that belongs to me..

Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth..
