There seemed to be endless obstacles preventing me from living with my eyes open, but as I gradually followed up clue after clue it seemed that the root cause of them all was fear.

I now see my life, not as a slow shaping of achievment to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery of a purpose which I did not know.

The growth of understanding follows an ascending spiral rather than a straight line.

It is weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them.

There seemed to be endless obstacles-it seemed that the root cause of them all was fear.

There seemed to be endless obstacles ... it seemed that the root cause of them all was fear.

Sometimes I found that in my happy moments I could not believe that I had ever been miserable.

It's weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them.

I began to have an idea of my life not as the slow shaping of achievement to fit my preconceived purposes but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.
