"Nature is not anthropomorphic...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“When you are sick of your sickness you will cease to be sick.”

“Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.”

“The well-run group is not a battlefield of egos.”

“‎Interdependence is a fundamental law of nature. Even tiny insects survive by mutual cooperation based on innate recognition of their interconnectedness. It is because our own human existence is so dependent on the help of others that our need for love lies at the very foundation of our existence. Therefore we need a genuine sense of responsibility and a sincere concern for the welfare of others.”

“Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit—-to the “conquest” of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature.”

“The rain to the wind said, You push and I'll pelt.' They so smote the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.”

“It is only about things that do not interest one that one can give a really unbiased opinion, which is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always absolutely valueless.”

“Every genius is a great child; he gazes out at the world as something strange, a spectacle, and therefore with purely objective interest”

“Conversation with a friend will only bear good fruit of knowledge when both think only of the matter under consideration and forget that they are friends.”
