    H. Jackson Brown Jr.
    “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
    H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

    Ryōkan
    “Too lazy to be ambitious,
    I let the world take care of itself.
    Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
    a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
    Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
    Listening to the night rain on my roof,
    I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”
    Ryokan

    Charles Bukowski
    “now it’s computers and more computers
    and soon everybody will have one,
    3-year-olds will have computers
    and everybody will know everything
    about everybody else
    long before they meet them.
    nobody will want to meet anybody
    else ever again
    and everybody will be
    a recluse
    like I am now.”
    Charles Bukowski, The Continual Condition: Poems

    Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu
    “For instance, if you believe that actions can have an impact on future rebirths, your calculations will be very dierent from what they would be if you believed that actions gave no results, or gave results that went no further than this lifetime. In giving clear answers to these larger questions, the Dhamma oers much more than a guide to the present. It explains how to recognize past mistakes so that you can learn from them, and how to plan for a satisfactory future. In providing this framework, the Dhamma gives you standards for deciding which kinds of actions will be skillful and which ones won’t.
    As the Buddha said, the primary duty of any responsible teacher is to provide a student both with the confidence that there are such things as skillful and unskillful actions, and with standards for recognizing, in any given situation, which is which. Any interpretation of the Dhamma that neglects this framework—or treats the issue of what happens at death as a mystery—counts as irresponsible.”
    Thanissaro Bhikkhu

    “From the dear comes grief;
    From the dear comes fear.
    If you're freed from the dear
    You'll have no grief, let alone fear.”
    Anonymous, The Dhammapada
