Life is not possible without an opening to the transcendent; in other words, human beings cannot live in chaos.  Once contact with the transcendent is lost, existence in the world ceases to be possible.

–Mircea Eliade, quoted in The Cross and the Lynching Tree, by James Cone

The swan that floats and doesn’t sink represents the intransitory in the transitory. (Martin Heidegger)

Life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards. Without humility, there is no sense of wonder. (Soren Kierkegaard)

The old gives way to the new as the snow gives way to the spring. (Rainer Rilke)

Resistance is part of our nature as antibodies are part of our bodies.
