Quotes by Elsa Barker (?)

“Wisdom is a tree of slow growth; the rings around its trunk are earthly lives, and the grooves between are the periods between lives. Who grieves that an acorn is slow in becoming an oak?”

“The joy of the struggle! That is the keynote of immortality, the keynote of power. Let this be my final message to the world. Tell them to enjoy their struggles, to thrill at the endless possibilities of combination and creation, to live in the moment while preparing for long hence, and not to exaggerate the importance of momentary failures and disappointments.
When they come out here and get their lives in perspective, they will see that most of their causes of anxiety were trivial, and that all the lights and shadows were necessary to the picture.”
― Elsa Barker, Letters from a Living Dead Man

“Очень возможно, что вы на земле работаете слишком много – более, чем это действительно необходимо. Все это множество ненужных вещей, которые вы нагромождаете вокруг себя, искусственные нужды, которые вы создаете, головокружительный темп ваших жизней, чтобы добыть все эти вещи, кажутся здесь чем-то нелепым и даже жалким. Ваша политическая экономия не более как детская игра, ваши государственные учреждения – хитроумные машины для делания ненужных вещей, большая часть вашей работы бесполезна, и вся ваша жизнь была бы почти бесплодной, если бы вы не страдали настолько, чтобы ваши души познали, хотя и против воли, что большая часть их стремлений тщетна.”
