“You don’t have to be a
philosopher; you just have to want to know who you are”
― Padmasambhava, The Tibetan Book of the Dead

“A man is never happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something that he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbour with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he is happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism: The Essays

“.. فارغ من الداخل ... يشبه مكتبة ليس بها كتاب واحد.”
― هاروكي موراكامي - كافكا على الشاطيء

“What we feel is the only thing that exists for us, and we project it into the past, into the future, without letting ourselves be stopped by the fictitious barriers of death.”
― Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time [volumes 1 to 7]
