More From W. Somerset Maugham

Each individual is a cosmos of organs, each organ is a cosmos of cells, each cell is a cosmos of infinitely small ones; and in this complex world, the well-being of the whole depends entirely on the sum of well-being enjoyed by each of the least microscopic particles of organized matter. a whole revolution is thus produced in the philosophy of life.
Philosophy Cells Cosmos
I think i am doing my works to link myself, my family, with society — with the cosmos. to link me with my family to the cosmos, that is easy, because all literature has some mystic tendency. so when we write about our family, we can link ourselves to the cosmos.
Writing Thinking Cosmos
We are special in the sense that we can know our place in the cosmos. we can know our place in space. we are at least one of the cosmos's ways of knowing itself. that fills me with reverence and joy. another insight i really want people to consider is this: everyone has gotten this far. everyone you meet has made it this far. nobody is superior to anyone else from an evolutionary standpoint.

The history of the cosmos is the history of the struggle of becoming. when the dim flux of unformed life struggled, convulsed back and forth upon itself, and broke at last into light and dark came into existence as light, came into existence as cold shadow then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight.
God Struggle Dark
We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.

The human spirit is as expansive as the cosmos. this is why it is so tragic to belittle yourself or to question your worth. no matter what happens, continue to push back the boundaries of your inner life. the confidence to prevail over any problem, the strength to overcome adversity and unbounded hope — all reside within you.
