Quote by Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.

Summary

This quote by Tennessee Williams represents the feeling of being trapped and helpless in a turbulent and chaotic world. It suggests that we are all living in a metaphorical "house on fire," surrounded by problems and challenges, with no immediate solutions or escape routes. The upstairs window represents our limited perspective, allowing us to observe and reflect on the situation without being able to actively change our circumstances. Ultimately, the quote conveys a sense of despair and resignation in the face of unavoidable destruction.

Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, the inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we also have access to our intuition.
