I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections. And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill. I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self. and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help. And patience, and a certain difficult repentance - long, difficult repentance, realization of life's mistake, and the freeing of oneself from the endless repetition of the mistake which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

"To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance."
— Oscar Wilde
"If you can discover your essential beauty, in spite of all your problems and imperfections, you are on the way toward well-being. A preliminary step is simply to accept yourself with all your failures and imperfections. You must get the ego out of the way—the thought that you are so exalted that in your refined state you would be perfect. Acceptance is the beginning of genuine and honest self-love, a requirement for perceiving your own beauty. "
— Thomas Moore
"Being true to who we are means carrying our spirit like a candle in the center of our darkness. If we are to live without silencing or numbing essential parts of who we are, a vow must be invoked and upheld within oneself. The same commitments we pronounce when embarking on a marriage can be understood internally as a devotion to the care of one's soul: to have and to hold … for better or for worse … in sickness and in health … to love and to cherish, till death do us part. This means staying committed to your inner path. This means not separating from yourself when things get tough or confusing. This means accepting and embracing your faults and limitations. It means loving yourself no matter how others see you. It means cherishing the unchangeable radiance that lives within you, no matter the cuts and bruises along the way."

"I went to see my neurologist about my migraines. He prescribed a new drug.
Later, he asked if the drug had affected me mentally.
I replied, "Of course not; it's just that when I fly to Jupiter now, I have to take my earthworms with me.""

I thought this up when I was in the examination room, although for obvious reasons I did not actually say this to him.
It only indicates how the pressure of chronic tinnitus can make your mind veer off in the most unwanted of directions.
Sir Thomas Beecham, to his lady cellist during the rehearsal for a concert that evening:
"Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to millions, and all you can do is sit there and scratch it!!"

"So Sir Thomas, have you ever conducted any Stockhausen?"
"No - but I trod in some once,"

"Just as in the world of plants and animals nothing ceases to exist, but continually changes its form, the manure into grain, the grain into a food, the tadpole into a frog, the caterpillar into a butterfly, the acorn into an oak, so man also does not perish, but only undergoes a change. He believed in this, and therefore always looked death straight in the face, and bravely bore the sufferings that lead towards it"
