"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself." ~Soren Kierkegaard

"If you see a whole thing -
it seems
that it's always beautiful.
Planets,
lives...
But up close
a world's all dirt and rocks.
And day to day,
life's a hard job,
you get tired,
you lose the pattern."

~Ursula Le Guin
