Eric Hoffer Flow Quotations

An easygoing person is probably more accessible to the realization of eternity--the endless flow of life and death--than one who takes his prospects and duties overseriously. It is the overserious who are truly frivolous.

A man's soul is pierced as it were with holes, and as his longings flow through each they are transmuted into something specific.

The compulsion to take ourselves seriously is in inverse proportion to our creative capacity. When the creative flow dries up, all we have left is our importance.
