“Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home”
― General Iroh

“Thinking leads inexorably to the abyss. It did not work for Tolstoy. It might not even have worked for Nietzsche, who arguably thought more clearly about such things than anyone in history. But if it is not thinking that can be relied upon in the direst of situations, what is left? Thought, after all, is the highest of human achievements, is it not?
Perhaps not.
Something supersedes thinking, despite its truly awesome power. When existence reveals itself as existentially intolerable, thinking collapses in on itself. In such situations—in the depths—it’s noticing, not thinking, that does the trick.”
― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“What we need to learn to do is to look at thought, rather than from thought.”
― Steven C. Hayes, Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
