Shunryu Suzuki
“When you bow, you should just bow; when you sit, you should just sit; when you eat, you should just eat.”
Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice

“Being alone is easier than having a family. When you have a family, you are responsible to each other. It’s easier to navigate the world without that burden.”
Zachary Jernigan, Shower of Stones

Shunryu Suzuki
“The person who can freely acknowledge that life is full of difficulties can be free, because they are acknowledging the nature of life - that it can't be much else.”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day
