Того, что люди называют случайностями, почти всегда можно легко избежать. Обычно такие вещи происходят с дураками, вся жизнь которых - сплошное разги… - Carlos Castañeda

When a man is not concerned with "seeing," things look very much the same to him every time he looks at the world. When he learns to "see," on the other hand, nothing is ever the same every time he "sees" it, and yet it is the same. To the eye of a seer, a man is like an egg. Every time he "sees" the same man he "sees" a luminous egg, yet it is not the same luminous egg.

Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever has to be learned must be learned the hard way.

Those are the lights on the head of death. Death puts them on like a hat and then shoots off on a gallop, gaining on us, getting closer and closer. Sometimes it turns off its lights. But death never stops.
