Jiddu KrishnamurtiThe primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiWhen you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.

Jiddu KrishnamurtiYou may be perfect in playing the piano, and not be creative; you may play the piano most brilliantly, and not be a musician. You may be able to handle color, to put paint on canvas most cleverly, and not be a creative painter. You may create a face, an image out of a stone, because you have learned the technique, and not be a master creator. Creation comes first, not technique.
