Echoes in a Hollow Space

Random quote of the day:

“No one saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path:
Buddhas merely teach the way.”

Random quote of the day:

“Wherever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fright, and many run away….The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings.”

Random quote of the day:

“Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still. Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good—be good for something.”

Random quote of the day:

When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don’t know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.

—D.H. Lawrence, “Escape”
