Quote by Matthew Fox

If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the beauty found in imperfections. By comparing the knots and dead branches of a tree to the imperfections in our bodies, it suggests that these flaws are not to be seen as negative, but rather as a part of our unique beauty. Just as a tree still stands tall and admirable despite its imperfections, we too should embrace and celebrate our own flaws, as they contribute to the overall beauty of our being. The quote encourages us to understand that perfection is not necessary for beauty and that imperfections make us who we are.

I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.

Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto, there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most.

To be young is all there is in the world. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family and a home (and I do, too, sometimes) --but it's all worry and head-aches and respectable poverty and forced gushing. Telling people how nice it is, when, in reality, you would give all of your last thirty years for one of your first thirty. Old people are tremendous frauds.
