“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.

Everything passes.”

“At that moment I rejoiced that I was free of possessions, free of all·ties, free of fear and envy and malice.

I was never more certain that life and death are one and that neither can be enjoyed or embraced if the other be absent.”
― Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi
