The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.

To feel that life is meaningless unless “I” can be permanent is like having fallen desperately in love with an inch.

Here is the vicious circle: if you feel separate from your organic life, you feel driven to survive; survival -going on living- thus becomes a duty and also a drag because you are not fully with it; because it does not quite come up to expectations, you continue to hope that it will, to crave for more time, to feel driven all the more to go on.

But we must not suffer over the suffering.

Our view of reality is like a chart of the sea - the truer it is, the less likely we will become lost.

To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam.

What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?
