Wise words from Aldous Huxley

I'm not one for inspirational quotes. But this by Aldous Huxley really hits the spot.

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days...Lightly, lightly - it's the best advice ever given to me... to throw away your baggage and go forward.
