A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have seen life from the top down and the bottom up. I know how it looks both ways. And I know there is wisdom and that there is hope.
The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
There's another horizon out there, one more horizon that you have to make for yourself and let other people discover it, and someone else will take it further on, you know.
Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
To live for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.
To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.
