Change and Transformation

Terror … often arises from a pervasive sense of disestablishment; that things are in the unmaking.

 

There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

 

The world has changed. I see it in the water. I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. J. R. R.

The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure. J. R. R.

 

Nature herself has never attempted to effect great changes rapidly.

Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it - but sail we must. And not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

A great novel is a kind of conversion experience. We come away from it changed.

The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in which direction we are moving.

Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.

The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,

 

Forward, forward let us range,

 

Out flew the web and floated wide;

 

She left the web, she left the loom,

 

That men may rise on stepping-stones

 

The old order changeth, yielding place to new,

 

Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!

 

When he falls, he falls like Lucifer,

 

I shall fall

 

Consideration like an angel came,

 

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.

 

And slowly answer’d Arthur from the barge: The old order changeth, yielding place to new; And God fulfills himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
