“Everybody has some unpleasant experiences in their lives.
People say things we don’t want to hear. People do things we don’t want them to do.
People don’t appreciate us, love us, praise us.
People go away when we want them to stay. People stay when we would like them to go away.
It happens to everyone.”
― Being Nobody, Going Nowhere: Meditations on the Buddhist Path

“Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.”

“There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining "punishment" and "being supposed to punish" hurts it, arouses fear in it. "Is it not enough to render him undangerous? Why still punish?
Punishing itself is terrible." With this question, herd morality, the morality of timidity, draws its ultimate consequence.”
