“No one loves you for what you have done, but for what you might do.”
― Patrick Kavanagh, Collected Poems

“There is no theory we may hold and no observation we can make that will retain so much as its old defective reference to the facts if the net be altered. Tinnitus, paraesthesias, hallucinations, delusions, confusions and disorientations intervene. Thus empiry [i.e., experience] confirms that if our nets are undefined, our facts are undefined, and to the “real” we can attribute not so much as one quality or “form”.”
― Warren S. McCulloch, Embodiments of Mind

“We control nothing, but influence everything.”
― Brian Klaas, Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters

“Everything is already integrated within this mind so it is not about keeping the good and the bad separate. The good and the bad have no essence or substance; they are the ceaseless play of the clarity of the mind.”
― James Low, The Mirror of Clear Meaning: A Commentary on the Dzogchen Treasure Text of Nuden Dorje
