J. Krishnamurti
“Wisdom is not in a book, it has no secret source. You will find the real very near; it is in yourself. But to discover it there must be the activity of constant alertness. When thought is passively aware, watching and following, then the map of self-knowledge unfolds itself. Self-knowledge is not by the study of the self in isolation, for there is no isolation. To live is to be related, and isolation is merely escape. If thought is alertly passive, watching its own movements and flutters, then when sleep comes the conscious mind is capable of receiving the hints and intimations of the hidden consciousness. He who desires to discover the real, the eternal, must put aside every book, every system, every guru, for that which is can be uncovered only through self-knowledge.
From: Fifth Talk in Madras”
J.Krishnamurti

“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.

Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”
Bhagavad Gita

Alain de Botton
“...love is a skill, not just an enthusiasm.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

David Sedaris
“Have a blessed day.” This can make you feel like you’ve been sprayed against your will with God cologne.”
David Sedaris, Calypso

“Štaviše, kod nas su se neki političari hvalili time da nemaju ni stan. Ako nisi sposoban da do svoje pedesete godine zaradiš za jedan dvosoban stan, na osnovu čega si sposoban da vodiš jednu celu državu?”
Miroslav Mišković, Ja, tajkun
