Plans Call

Famous quotes containing the words plans and/or call:

    One who winks the eyes plans perverse things; one who compresses the lips brings evil to pass.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:30.

    Yet there is a mystery here and it is not one that I understand: without the sting of otherness, of—even—the vicious, without the terrible energies of the underside of health, sanity, sense, then nothing works or can work. I tell you that goodness-what we in our ordinary daylight selves call goodness: the ordinary, the decent—these are nothing without the hidden powers that pour forth continually from their shadow sides. Their hidden aspects contained and tempered.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
