Overall, I thought this was extremely valuable. The essays vary in quality and interest but I found that by the end my appreciation of the route text was significantly enhanced.

Quotes by Nagapriya (?)

“Everyone is worthy of mettā (loving-kindness) whatever they have done; it is not a reward for good conduct but an affirmation of their humanity and their potential for spiritual growth.”

Nagapriya’s Quotes

“Utopia lies at the horizon.
When I draw nearer by two steps,
it retreats two steps.
If I proceed ten steps forward, it
swiftly slips ten steps ahead.
No matter how far I go, I can never reach it.
What, then, is the purpose of utopia?
It is to cause us to advance.”
― Eduardo Galeano

“It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”
