“And if they don’t realize what they’re doing, who knows where it will all end.”
Zhuangzi, The Inner Chapters
She was breathing deeply, she forgot the cold, the weight of beings, the insane or static life, the long anguish of living or dying. After so many years running from fear, fleeing crazily, uselessly, she was finally coming to a halt. At the same time she seemed to be recovering her roots, and the sap rose anew in her body, which was no longer trembling. Pressing her whole belly against the parapet, leaning toward the wheeling sky, she was only waiting for her pounding heart to settle down, and for the silence to form in her. The last constellations of stars fell in bunches a little lower on the horizon of the desert, and stood motionless. Then, with an unbearable sweetness, the waters of the night began to fill her, submerging the cold, rising gradually to the center of her being, and overflowing wave upon wave to her moaning mouth. A moment later, the whole sky stretched out above her as she lay with her back against the cold earth.
Albert Camus (via pavorst)
A basket-trap is for catching fish, but when one has got the fish, one need think no more about the basket. […] Words are for holding ideas, but when one has got the idea, one need no longer think about the words.
Feng Youlan, “The Spirit of Chinese Philosophy,” in A Short History of Chinese Philosophy (via booklessons)
“The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is boredom.”
― Timothy Ferriss
