Alan W. Watts
[T]he joy of travel is not nearly so much in getting where one wants to go as in the unsought surprises which occur on the journey.
Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

D.T. Suzuki
Taking it all in all, Zen is emphatically a matter of personal experience; if anything can be called radically empirical, it is Zen. No amount of reading, no amount of teaching, no amount of contemplation will ever make one a Zen master. Life itself must be grasped in the midst of its flow; to stop it for examination and analysis is to kill it, leaving its cold corpse to be embraced.
D.T. Suzuki, An Introduction to Zen Buddhism
