You are certainly one of the joys of life for all who have ever come within a mile of you.

We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God

The whole aim of Zen is not to make foolproof statements about experience, but to come to direct grips with reality without the mediation of logical verbalizing.

The purpose of our lives is to find the purpose of our lives.

Why do we have to spend our lives striving to be something that we would never want to be, if we only knew what we wanted? Why do we waste our time doing things which... are just the opposite of what we were made for?

The degradation of the sense of symbol in modern society is one of its many signs of spiritual decay.

You are made in the image of what you desire.
