I think hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go.

The boy didnt know if he understood or not. The old man went on to say that the hunter was a different thing than men supposed. He said that men believed the blood of the slain to be of no consequence but the wolf knows better. He said that the wolf is a being of great order and that it knows what men do not:
that there is no order in the world save that which death has put there. Finally he said that if men drink the blood of God yet they do not understand the seriousness of what they do. He said that men wish to be serious but they do not understand how to be so. Between their acts and their ceremonies lies the world and in this world the storms blow and the trees twist in the wind and all the animals that God has made go to and fro yet this world men do not see. They see the acts of their own hands or they see that which they name and call out to one another but the world between is invisible to them.

Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
And if you cannot be saints of knowledge, at least be its warriors. They are the companions and forerunners of such sainthood.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
If I thought of a future, I dreamt of one day founding a school in which young people could learn without boredom, and would be stimulated to pose problems and discuss them; a school in which no unwanted answers to unasked questions would have to be listened to; in which one did not study for the sake of passing examinations.
What we want
is never simple.
We move among the things
we thought we wanted:
a face, a room, an open book
and these things bear our names —
now they want us.
But what we want appears
in dreams, wearing disguises.
We fall past,
holding out our arms
and in the morning
our arms ache.
We don’t remember the dream,
but the dream remembers us.
It is there all day
as an animal is there
under the table,
as the stars are there.

The normal is that which nobody quite is. If you listen to seemingly dull people very closely, you’ll see that they’re all mad in different and interesting ways, and are merely struggling to hide it.
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Hangout with CERN: Extra dimensions
Authors of two of the most cited papers in physics for the past ten years, this hangout features special guest theorists Lisa Randall from Harvard University and Raman Sundrum from University of Maryland, who join CERN physicists to look at how the LHC experiments are investigating extra dimensions.
Our host, physicist Steven Goldfarb connects from the ATLAS experiment control centre with physicist Christophe Clement from Stockholm University, Sweden and Taylor Bayouth a CERN Visitor from Los Angeles, with Achintya Rao monitoring questions on social media. Also joining the discussion is CMS experiment physicist Sam Harper from Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK.
Recorded live on 25th April 2013.
The hangouts with CERN answer questions received via #askCERN on Twitter and Google+ and via YouTube and Facebook comments.
Duration: 45:19

I am starting to live by this quote because sometimes I lose myself but soon I’ll figure out what my purpose in life is and put myself back on track.
