"The spiritual arrogance and disgust in a man who has suffered deeply — how profoundly men can suffer almost determines their order of rank — his chilling certainty, with which he is thoroughly soaked and coloured, that thanks to his suffering he knows more than the cleverest and wisest can know, that he has known and at some point been "at home" in many terrible far-off worlds, about which "you know nothing!" . . . this spiritual and silent arrogance of the sufferer, this pride of the one chosen to know, of the "initiate," of the one who has almost been sacrificed, who needs all kinds of disguises to protect himself from contact with prying and compassionate hands and, in general, from everything which is not his equal in pain. Profound suffering ennobles; it separates." -- Friedrick Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

AlteredAgain said:
"True loving is like a flower. When you come across its perfume, it smells lovely.
But the flower did not send this perfume to you.
The flower perfumes even when you are not there, unconditionally.
That is its state of being."

"This is how one ought to see, how things really are." And yet there were reservations. For if one always saw like this, one would never want to do anything else. Just looking, just being the divine Not-self of flower, of book, of chair, of flannel. That would be enough. Aldous Huxley

The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who wish to enter to do so. Unknown (the bible?)
