We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between a causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality.

Alan Watts

Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

Krishnamurti

Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere’s Fan

Philosophizing is: rejecting false arguments.

Wittgenstein

Arjuna, immerse your mind in me and I will uplift you from the ocean of recurring death. If you cannot do that, then practise yoga and work on your mind. If you cannot do that, then do your work as if it is my work. If you cannot do that, then make yourself my instrument and do as I say. If you cannot do that, then simply do your job and leave the results to me.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 12, verses 6 to 11 (paraphrased)

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Khalil Gibran

If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company.

Kierkegaard

If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.

In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.
