> We have been told so many times that if we want something badly enough and focus hard enough, we can have it. But that concept falls prey to the notion that we can conceive what we need, that we know the best way to go, that there is a best way to go. We can’t get far enough back from the road to see the topography: our perception of where we might be going will thankfully always be wrong.

> None of us really see, hear, and experience exactly the same thing as our neighbors; we merely agree on a colluded approximation, hoping that if we cling together we won’t get too disoriented. ([Location 107](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00DGZKPFG&location=107))
> The Lake Isle of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Drop-ping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow. And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
