“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
― William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

― Lewis Thomas

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

“The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.”
