    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can,
    Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say”

    René Daumal
    “I am dead because I lack desire,
    I lack desire because I think I possess,
    I think I possess because I do not try to give,
    In trying to give, you see that you have nothing,
    Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself,
    Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing,
    Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become,
    In desiring to become, you begin to live.”
    ― Rene Daumal

    Joseph Campbell
    “You enter the forest
    at the darkest point,
    where there is no path.

    Where there is a way or path,
    it is someone else's path.

    You are not on your own path.

    If you follow someone else's way,
    you are not going to realize
    your potential.”

    “Behind each thing a shadow lies;

    Clark Ashton Smith
    “It seems to me that I have lived alone—
    Alone, as one that liveth in a dream:
    As light on coldest marble, or the gleam
    Of moons eternal on a land of stone,
    The dawns have been to me. I have but known
    The silence of a frozen land extreme—
    A sole attending silence, all supreme
    As is the sea’s enormous monotone.

    Upon the icy desert of my days,
    No bright mirages are, but iron rays
    Of dawn relentless, and the bitter light
    Of all-revealing noon.**** Alone, I crave
    The friendly clasp of finite arms, to save
    My spirit from the ravening Infinite.”
    ― Clark Ashton Smith, Ebony and Crystal: Poems in Verse and Prose

    like hands joined together,
    like the end and the way.”
