“He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived.”

“The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?”
― Zhuangzi, Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters

“Kirkkaina päivinä pohjoisessa näkyvät vuoret, joiden taakse en ole koskaan päässyt. Maalauksen alla on valkea seinä, mutta mitä on tämän maailman takana? Onko sielläkin puhdas valkeus vaiko kaikkiin suuntiin avautuva tila, joka pysyy kuvitelmien ulkopuolella?”
― Joel Haahtela, Talvikappeli

“A war doesn’t merely kill off a few thousand or a few hundred thousand young men. It kills off something in a people that can never be brought back. And if a people goes through enough wars, pretty soon all that’s left is the brute, the creature that we—you and I and others like us—have brought up from the slime.”
― John Williams, Stoner
