[BKARTS] Help with quotes
Dear Friends
I am working on a project called Transformed Translations which is a
series of over one hundred wooden squares with weathered ink drawings
from an outdoor installation mounted on them. I think I would like to
place a quote on the back of each but know I am not up to the task of
gathering that many quotations. I am looking for quotes that are
instructive and inspirational without being preachy and have some
lasting resonance. Here are some of the ones I have already chosen:
Leap into the boundless and make it your home.
Chuang-Tzu
Mysteriously, wonderfully, I bid farewell to what goes, I greet what
comes; for what comes cannot be denied, and what goes cannot be
detained.
Chuang-Tzu
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your
spirit, till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside
to the merest puff.
Annie Dillard
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To search the old is to find the new.
Confucius
If you have any that you would be willing to share, I would really
appreciate it. I am thinking that the easiest way is to send them
privately to me. I will compile all that I receive and post a message
on the list as they may be of interest to others.

Thanks for your help.
in good spirit
