What keeps us from happiness is our inability to fully inhabit the present

The past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality.

By going out of your mind, you come to your senses

The greater part of human activity is designed to make permanent those experiences and joys which are only lovable because they are changing.

What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.

The source of all light is in the eye.

The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens... within I don't know how many years, but in not too long a time, it's going to become basic common sense that you are not some alien being who confronts an external world that is not you, but that almost every intelligent person will have the feeling of being an activity of the entire universe.
