"Whoever reds the saints' confessions cannot help thinking that Jesus was sent into the world not so much to save people as to comfort the hearts of women starved for love."
--Emil Cioran, except from Tears and Saints
01. Renounce useless guilt
02. Don't make a cult of suffering
03. Live in the Now (or at least the Soon).
04. Always do the things you fear the most; courage is an acquired taste, like caviar.
05. Trust all joy.
06. If the evil eye fixes you in its gaze, look elsewhere.
--Erica Jong, How to Save Your Own Life
"Mystics have rarely cultivated the prayer of supplication; they have worked at a relationship based on mutuality."
