“Boundary lines, of any type, are never found in the real world itself, but only in the imagination of the mapmakers.”

(Ken Wilber)

Becoming enlightened, in the Buddhist sense of the term, would entail wholly ridding yourself of the twin illusions from which people tend to suffer: the illusion about what’s “in here”—inside your mind—and about what’s “out there” in the rest of the world.

In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.

(Jeanette Winterson)

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day

and think it is forever.

(Carl Sagan)

"I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.

Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick and you might feel foolish for awhile.

“Individuality can only be valuable when it is not individuality for its own sake but individuality for the human community.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything
