Robert M. Pirsig
“We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Michael Pollan
“Nature does in fact teem with subjectivities — call them spirits if you like — other than our own; it is only the human ego, with its imagined monopoly on subjectivity, that keeps us from recognizing them all, our kith and kin.”
Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics

Chuck Klosterman
“Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.”
Chuck Klosterman, Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story

Michael Pollan
“The opposite of spiritual is not material but egotistical.”
Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics

Jarod K. Anderson
“It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature. The pathways of your mind. Your dreams, dark and strange as sprouts curling beneath a flat rock. Your regret, bitter as the citrus rot of old cut grass. It’s the same as the nature you make time to love. That you practice loving. The forest. The meadow. The sweeping arm of a galaxy. You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.”
Jarod K. Anderson, Field Guide to the Haunted Forest
