Ram Dass
“I can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!”
Ram Dass, Be Here Now

Louis de Bernières
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”
Louis de Bernières, Corelli’s Mandolin

“Eros limbslackener shakes me again—
that sweet, bitter, impossible creature.”
Jim Powell, The Poetry of Sappho

Nisargadatta Maharaj
“All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-disgust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of love you bear for your self, all I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect. Deny your self nothing--give yourself infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Allen Ginsberg
“Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illumnations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!”
Allen Ginsberg, Howl and Other Poems
