"Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness...." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“To think too much is a disease.”

“Although your mind works, your heart is darkened with depravity; and without a pure heart there can be no complete and true consciousness”

“Because everyone is guilty for everyone else. For all the 'wee ones,' because there are little children and big children. All people are 'wee ones.' And I'll go for all of them, because there must be someone who will go for all of them.”

“External circumstances can contribute to one's happiness and well-being, but ultimately happiness and suffering depend on the mind.”

“For now they kill me with a living death.”

“Meaning makes a great many things endurable---per haps everything.”

“Thought dissolves the material universe by carrying the mind up into a sphere where all is plastic.”

“Even the great scientists have reported that their creative break-throughs came at a time of mental quietude. The surprising result of a nationwide inquiry among America's most eminent mathematicians, including Einstein, to find out their working methods, was that thinking 'plays only a subordinate part in the brief, decisive phase of the creative act itself'.”

“If it is the quality of your consciousness at this moment that determines the future, then what is it that determines the quality of your consciousness? Your degree of presence. So the only place where true change can occur and where the past can be dissolved is the Now.”
