I Can Never...

 

Ferdinand Keller


"I can never come to quietude 
if I do not sacrifice my agitation 
and my tensions. 
I cannot have a free attention 
if I do not sacrifice what keeps it enslaved. 
Everything I wish has to be paid for. 
If I wish to have a new state, 
I must sacrifice the old. 
We never get more than we give up. 
What we receive is proportional to what we sacrifice."
~Jeanne DeSaltzmann
