Direction-Deviation

Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life. (Emerson)

For all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure. (Tom Stoppard)

But we, we have no sense of direction; impetus is all we have. We do not proceed, we only roll down the mountain, like disbalanced boulders, crushing before us many delicate springing things, whose plan it was to grow. (Millay)

If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. (Yiddish proverbs)

The road up and the road down is one and the same. The beginning and the end are common. (Heraclitus)
