I'm like one of those firecrackers that goes off in your pocket occasionally. i'm not really struggling with it as much as the people around me. but at least i'm not doing too much damage to anybody or to myself. it's just the condition i'm aware of.

More From Robert Plant

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.
Book Reading Silence
I hope that i'm always struggling, really. you develop when you're struggling. when you're struggling, you get stronger.
Struggle Stronger
But you can’t get to any of these truths by sitting in a field smiling beatifically, avoiding your anger and damage and grief. your anger and damage and grief are the way to the truth. we don’t have much truth to express unless we have gone into those rooms and closets and woods and abysses that we were told not go in to. when we have gone in and looked around for a long while, just breathing and finally taking it in – then we will be able to speak in our own voice and to stay in the present moment. and that moment is home.
Grief Home Voice
I would like to suggest that our minds are swamped by too much study and by too much matter just as plants are swamped by too much water or lamps by too much oil; that our minds, held fast and encumbered by so many diverse preoccupations, may well lose the means of struggling free, remaining bowed and bent under the load; except that it is quite otherwise: the more our souls are filled, the more they expand; examples drawn from far-off times show, on the contrary, that great soldiers ad statesmen were also great scholars.

Now i wish she'd never broken any of her rules. i understood why she held to them so hard. once you broke the first one, they all broke, one by one, like firecrackers exploding in your face in a parking lot on the fourth of july.

You know, my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression. there comes a time, my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. there comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life’s july and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine november.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
