Don't look for beauty. You must let it come to you. Those who look for beauty are mere journalists.
Borges

Perhaps everything fearful is basically helplessness that seeks our help.
Rilke

The mind's terror of boredom is the more acute because the mind suspects that through boredom, through its extreme experience, another reality might be reached that would threaten its pretentions, and perhaps even dissolve them altogether.
Andrew Harvey

Gwynneth Lewis
