"A primary cause of suffering is delusion: our inability... to see things the way they truly are.... The world is in face a seamless and dynamic unity: a single living organism that is constantly undergoing change. Our minds, however, chop it up into separate, static bits and pieces, which we then try mentally and physically to manipulate. One of the mind's most dear creations is the idea of the person and, closest to home, of a very special person which each of us calls "I": a separate, enduring ego or self. In a moment, then, the seamless universe is cut in two. There is "I"--- and then there is all the rest."

"The hunger of the spirit for eternity-- as fierce as a starving man's for bread-- is much less a craving to Go on living than a craving for redemption. Oh, and a protest against absurdity."

"If logic tells you that life is a meaningless accident, don't give up on life. Give up on logic."
