“I just haven’t had the heart.” And that was the truth.

T Thorn Coyle, Bookshop Witch [Amazon, Bookshop]

Hermetic quote Coyle Bookshop Witch just havent had heart truth

Consider also:

  1. “I was more pretending to work than I was getting actually much getting done.”
  2. “there’s a worm of truth at the heart of every fictional apple”
  3. “Suppose truth is not the aim of life. Imagine, all along great minds and intellects have been searching frantically for truth, looking in every nook and cranny of the world to uncover truth. It always seems to be slippery; when we finally grasp what we think is truth, it slips out of our hands and scurries off. Isn’t life all but a frantic search for truth?”
  4. “We seek truth in all human experience, principally because we want security; we want that certainty that we are not deceiving ourselves. The question is, how do we know when we have attained truth? To most of us, truth consists of the substantiation of our ideas.”
  5. “In an important sense, soulmaking is just the creative seeking and expression of extrarational truth. It’s what we do when we dialogue with the parts of ourselves that usually go unheard—whether it be our heart, our guides, or our genius.”
