Richard Powers
“A great truth comes over him: Trees fall with spectacular crashes. But planting is silent and growth is invisible.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Dalai Lama XIV
“It does not matter whether one is a Buddhist like me, or a Christian like the Archbishop, or any other religion, or no religion at all. From the moment of birth, every human being wants to discover happiness and avoid suffering. No differences in our culture or our education or our religion affect this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire joy and contentment. But so often these feelings are fleeting and hard to find, like a butterfly that lands on us and then flutters away.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

Lisa Halliday
“the music made her more desperate than ever to do, invent, create—to channel all her own energies into the making of something beautiful and unique to herself—but it also made her want to love.

Lisa Halliday, Asymmetry

Dalai Lama XIV
“One great question underlies our existence,” the Dalai Lama had said before the trip. “What is the purpose of life? After much consideration, I believe that the purpose of life is to find happiness.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

Dalai Lama XIV
“One exceptional morning, the Dalai Lama even introduced the Archbishop to his meditation practice in his private residence, and the Archbishop gave the Dalai Lama communion, a rite generally reserved for those who are within the Christian faith.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World
