- The gods were only guides to the enlightenment that would erase them. - Colin Thubron, To a Mountain in Tibet
- When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means to have a goal, but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. In striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose. - Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
