Thomas Paine
“The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.”
Thomas Paine, A Letter Addressed to the Abbe Raynal on the Affairs of North America

Nisargadatta Maharaj
“All you want is to be happy. All your desires, whatever they may be, are longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well...desire by itself is not wrong. It is life itself, the urge to grow in knowledge and experience. It is choices you make that are wrong. To imagine that some little thing-food, sex, power, fame-will make you happy is to decieve oneself. Only something as vast and deep as your real self can make you truly and lastingly happy.”
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

J.D. Salinger
“Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rule."

Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it."

Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right-I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.”
J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Gautama Buddha
“There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.”
Buddha

Arthur Rimbaud
“Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.”
Arthur Rimbaud
