Zen in the Vernacular Quotes

“Kindness saves us from devaluing any particular expression of the Universe. A housefly or spider is a mystery beyond our calculation. How much more so a human being? We are produced by that which produced our enemies. It’s our task on Earth to consider that, and deal with the understanding that, on some level, it’s all “us.”
― Peter Coyote, Zen in the Vernacular: Things As It Is
