I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me - deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realised only by the wise.
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and that to destroy, to harm, or to hinder life is evil.
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
The wise are wise only because they love. Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
The gulf between I and you is the ego. When the ego is removed the distance disappears and the ‘I’ and ‘you’ also disappear. They merge to become one — and that is love.
It is as difficult to change someone’s opinions as it is to change his tastes.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
