What the devil is the point of surviving, going on living, when it's a drag? But you see, that's what people do.

That society is strong and viable which recognizes its own provisionality.

I knew of a physicist at the University of Chicago who was rather crazy like some scientists, and the idea of the insolidity, the instability of the physical world impressed him so much that he used to go around in enormous padded slippers for fear he should fall through the floor.

The 'you' who you think you are does not exist.

To know that you are God is another way of saying that you feel completely one with this universe.

Where do I begin and end in space? I have relations to the sun and air which are just as vital parts of my existence as my heart.

You will begin to realize that if you contemplate long enough on the leaf of the flower, that it involves the whole universe.
