Summary

This quote suggests that obstacles can appear more or less daunting depending on our perspective and mindset. If we see ourselves as small and powerless, challenges may seem overwhelming and insurmountable. Conversely, if we have a larger and more confident view of ourselves, obstacles may appear smaller and more manageable. Ultimately, our perception of obstacles is influenced by our own self-perception and belief in our abilities to overcome them.

Then, what's the matter?' I wonder, in fact, how many times I have said that or something equal to it to a woman passing palely through my life. Love is what this means, of course. Or at least, second best: surrender. Or at the least, take some time regaling me with why you won't, and maybe by the end you will.

I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say.

Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourselves are bitter and dark. And we deem her empty and unprofitable, but only when the soul goes wandering in desolate places, and the heart is drunken with overmindfulness of self.Life is deep and high and distant; and though only your vast vision can reach even her feet, yet she is near; and though only the breath of your breath reaches her heart, the shadow of your shadow crosses her face, and the echo of your faintest cry becomes a spring and an autumn in her breast.And life is veiled and hidden, even as your greater self is hidden and veiled. Yet when Life speaks, all the winds become words; and when she speaks again, the smiles upon your lips and the tears in your eyes turn also into words. When she sings, the deaf hear and are held; and when she comes walking, the sightless behold her and are amazed and follow her in wonder and astonishment.
