—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
If you want to ask where the flowers comes from, even the God of spring doesn't know.

One who understands truth is wu-nien
(without thought), wu-i
(without memory), and wu-chao
(without attachment).
—Hui-Neng
If a man understands the Tao in the morning, it is well with him even when he dies in the evening.
—Confucius
The path of the enlightened one leaves no track—it is like the path of birds in the sky.
—The Buddha
Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.
—Wallace Stevens
