David Bowie
“Sometimes I don't feel as if I'm a person at all. I'm just a collection of other people's ideas.”
David Bowie

Leo Tolstoy
“Add your light to the sum of light.”
Leo Tolstoy

Alan W. Watts
“In Zen Buddhist texts they say, “You cannot nail a peg into the sky.” And so, to be a man of the sky, a man of the void, is also called ‘a man not depending on anything’. And when you’re not hung on anything you are the only thing that isn’t hung on anything – which is the universe. Which doesn’t hang, you see. Where would it hang? It has no place to fall on, even though it may be dropping; there will never be the crash of it landing on a concrete floor somewhere. But the reason for that is that it won’t crash below because it doesn’t hang above. And so there is a poem, in Chinese, which speaks of such a person as having above, not a tile to cover the head; below, not an inch of ground on which to stand.”
Alan W. Watts, Out of Your Mind

C.G. Jung
“One who looks outside, dreams. One who looks inside, awakens.”
Carl Jung

Nisargadatta Maharaj
“Within the immensity of space floats a tiny atom of consciousness and in it the entire universe is contained.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj
