“It is not daily increase but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is.”

“For love to flourish, the light of your presence needs to be strong enough so that you no longer get taken over by the thinker or the pain-body and mistake them for who you are. To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.”

“Ihmisten pitää työskennellä enemmän, jotta tuotantoa olisi enemmän. Lisätuotannon oletetaan johtavan parempaan elämään. André Gorz sanoo, että siteen luominen sanojen "enemmän" ja "parempi" välille on ovelaa, sillä monet tarpeistamme eivät tule tyydytetyiksi lisätuotannon kautta, vaan se päinvastoin uhkaa niiden tyydyttämistä. Tämä koskee erityisesti tarpeitamme puhtaaseen ilmaan ja veteen, ympäristöön, rauhaan, kauneuteen, aikaan ja ihmissuhteisiin. Nykypäivänä puutetta ei ole teollisesti tuotetusta tavarasta, vaan kaikesta, mikä kuuluu elämisen laatuun.”

“All “direct” persons and men of action are active just because they are stupid and limited. How explain that? I will tell you: in consequence of their limitation they take immediate and secondary causes for primary ones, and in that way persuade themselves more quickly and easily than other people do that they have found an infallible foundation for their activity, and their minds are at ease and you know that is the chief thing.”
