“when people put profit before righteousness, they cannot be satisfied without grasping for more.”
― Mencius, Mengzi: With Selections from Traditional Commentaries

“This feeling of adventure definitely does not come from events: I have proved it. It’s rather the way in which the moments are linked together. I think this is what happens: you suddenly feel that time is passing, that each instant leads to another, this one to another one, and so on; that each instant is annihilated, and that it isn’t worth while to hold it back, etc., etc. (. . .) If I remember correctly, they call that the irreversibility of time.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

“Remember that foul words or blows in themselves are no outrage, but your judgment that they are so. So when anyone makes you angry, know that it is your own thought that has angered you. Wherefore make it your endeavor not to let your impressions carry you away.”
― Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Happiness

“If you want to know the secrets of existence, do the math. There is no other way. There is only one truth, the truth of mathematics. It is the infallible, absolute truth. All truth-seekers come in the end to mathematics. Pythagoras got there first. It’s time for everyone else to join him and hear the Music of the Spheres. Are your ears attuned to the perfect notes of the universe? Only the gods can hear the divine music. Are you one of them?”
― Thomas Stark, The Sheldrake Shift: A Critical Evaluation of Morphic Resonance
