More From Alan Lightman

Even if nobody's singing, just when you talk, you're singing. i'll meet somebody and say, "oh, i'm tone-deaf." i say, "you're not tone-deaf, because if you were tone-deaf you would speak like that. but you're 'oh, i'm tone-deaf.' you already sang a song to me."
Song Singing Tone
Sometimes we don't need words. rather, it's words that need us. if we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. they would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren't spoken are no longer words. - (where i'm likely to find it)
Needs Sometimes Function
How any human being ever has had the impudence to speak against the right to speak, is beyond the power of my imagination. here is a man who speaks-who exercises a right that he, by his speech, denies. can liberty go further than that? is there any toleration possible beyond the liberty to speak against liberty-the real believer in free speech allowing others to speak against the right to speak?

If you would be well spoken of, learn to be well-spoken; and having learnt to be well- spoken, strive also to be well-doing; so shall you succeed in being well spoken of.
Succeed Would Be Strive
Most people are unable to write because they are unable to think, and they are unable to think because they congenitally lack the equipment to do so, just as they congenitally lack the equipment to fly over the moon.

Paul brunton's notebooks are a veritable treasure-trove of philosophic-spiritual wisdom. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

Compassion- which means, literally, "to suffer with"- is the way to the truth that we are most ourselves, not when we differ from others, but when we are the same. indeed the main spiritual question is not, "what difference do you make?" but "what do you have in common?" it is not "excelling" but "serving" that makes us most human. it is not proving ourselves to be better than others but confessing to be just like others that is the way to healing and reconciliation.
