Fremgang er overskridelse

"Å vokse er å strekke seg utover det etablerte, utover området en er kjent og har kontroll. Progresjon er transgresjon, fremgang er overskridelse. En leder kan aldri bare bli værende i det trygge, lederen må lede i front."

(Paul Otto Brunstad)

På alle dine veier

"For Han skal gi sine engler befaling om deg, så de bevarer deg på alle dine veier."

(Salme 91-11)

En underjordisk strøm

"Østenfor kjærlighet

Vestenfor drøm

Bærer en underjordisk strøm

Mot havet."


(Inger Hagerup)

Gjenklang av melodier

"Men først og fremst er det lagunen som gir dette landskap sin glede.

Den bringer minner fra verdener man aldri har kjent, og likevel kjenner.

Den vekker gjenklang av melodier man aldri har hørt, og dog hører igjen i en dønning."


(Ferdinand Finne)

Like a little child

"Sit down before fact like a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly to wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing."

(Thomas Huxley)

The breaking of the shell

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break,
that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart
in wonder at the daily miracles of your life,
your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted
the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity
through the winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician
within you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician,
and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard,
is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter
has moistenered with His own sacred tears.


(Kahlil Gibran)

Den dragende makt

"For sannheten har alltid hatt en underlig dragende makt over dem som selv er av sannheten."


("Sannhetens konge/Fibiger)

You shall be free

"You shall be free indeed when your days are not without care,

nor your nights without a want and a grief.

But rather when these things girdle your life

and yet you rise above them naked and unbound."



(Kahlil Gibran)
