“There’s no way to become happy. We simply need to stop doing the things that make us unhappy.”
― Adyashanti, Falling Into Grace

“The idea is not love. The idea, the word is not love. But only when you have seen the whole movement of desire, attachment, pleasure, then out of that depth of perception comes this strange flower with its extraordinary perfume. That is love.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, On Love and Loneliness: A Compelling Investigation of Intimate Relationships, Isolation, and Self-Knowledge

“Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.”
― J. Krishnamurti

“My library is an archive of longings.”
― Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980
