Joesph Conrad

In the immutability of their surroundings, the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life, glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance; for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence and as inscrutable as destiny.

I found this quote yesterday:

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence. - Joseph Conrad

And this:
A person who says, "I'm enlightened" probably isn't. - Ram Dass
