“Poetry is evidence that the heart thinks and the mind feels.”
― Nayyirah Waheed, Salt

“The question of whether or not there is a God or Truth or Reality, or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosphers or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself and that is why you must know your self. Immaturity lies in total ignorance of self. To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known

“Poverty becomes a marvellously beautiful thing when the mind
is free of society. One must become poor inwardly for then there is
no seeking, no asking, no desire, no - nothing! It is only this inward
poverty that can see the truth of a life in which there is no conflict at all”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known

“Attention is not the same thing as concentration. Concentration is exclusion; attention, which is total awareness, excludes nothing. It seems to me that most of us are not aware, not only of what we are talking about but of our environment, the colours around us, the people, the shape of the trees, the clouds, the movement of water.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known: The inspiring guide to breaking free from expectation, from the bestselling spiritual thinker

“Je continuais à lire des illustrés, mais plus de livres qui remplissaient mon crâne et élargissaient mon front. Les lire, c'était pour moi prendre le large en bateau, mon nez étant la proue, et les lignes les vagues. J'allais lentement, à la rame, passant sur un mot que je ne comprenais pas, sans fouiller dans les dictionnaires. Il restait approximatif, dans l'attente d'être compris. Je devais y arriver tout seul, en trouver le sens à travers d'autres occasions, à force de le rencontrer.”
― Erri De Luca, I pesci non chiudono gli occhi
