Free yourself from the psychological structure of society, which is to free yourself from the essence of conflict.

Whether we call ourselves communists or capitalists, Hindus or Buddhists, Moslems or Christians, whether we are blind, lame, well or happy, this earth is ours...not somebody else's...it is not only the rich man's earth, but our earth...yours and mine.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

Be a light unto oneself

And the point is, is it possible for the mind to be totally free from suffering and yet not become indifferent, callous, irresponsible, but to have that passion, the intensity, the energy that freedom brings, freedom from suffering.

Ugliness and evil are necessary for growth but they may be experienced vicariously.

You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
