Some quotes that I re-discovered again

the title it redundant you say? You are right...

"Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately [after] they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom to one man seems nonsense to another."

(Daichan, Lindsay and I pose with one of the guardian lions outside of the Kora Shrine)

Another piece of the pie:

"And here is a doctrine at which you will laugh. It seems to me, Govinda (ah, this gives it away!), that love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect."


Did you guess where these are from?
