“We could decide simply to remain absorbed in the mysterious, unformed, free-play of reality. This would be the choice of the mystic who seeks to extinguish himself in God or Nirvana—analogous perhaps to the tendency among artists to obliterate themselves with alcohol or opiates. But if we value our participation in a shared reality in which it makes sense to make sense, then such self-abnegation would deny a central element of our humanity: the need to speak and act, to share our experience with others.”
― Stephen Batchelor, Buddhism without Beliefs: A Contemporary Guide to Awakening

“There's no one thing that's true. It's all true.”
― Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

“If there is a true universal mind, must it be sane?”
― Charles Fort
