“Bistvena napaka človeka je vsijevanje svojega prepričanja drugim. Če bi vsak lahko sprejel vsakogar takega, kakršen je, in če bi se vsi trudili, da ne bi nikomur škodovali, če si že pomagati ne moremo, ne bi bilo treba nobenih pravil, zakonov, nobenih prepirov, kaj šele vojn in pokolov.”

“Smisla ni, cilja ni, le večna pot je v meni, pot in postaje ob njej. več kot desetletje garanja, samoodpovedi, tveganja, sanj in hrepenenja, več kot mesec dni trpljenja štiridesetih mož, samo zato, da sedajle sedim pri kitajski piramidi in ne vem, kaj bi.

Pripravljen sem bil vedno pustiti vse za seboj, da sem lahko hodil po poti, za katero sem čutil, da me kliče.”
― Nejc Zaplotnik, Pot

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
― Terence McKenna
