"There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet," he ruminated, "trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling... Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply."
- Aldus Huxley, author of Brave New World (a dystopian vision of the future), nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in seven different years and widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intelluctuals of his time. Later in his life, Huxley came to regret one thing: how "preposterously serious" he had been when he was younger.
Just sayin' :)
