To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
-J. Krishnamurti
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.
Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the centre and everything coming out equal. Even if you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.
-Barbara Kingsolver
