- “When we suffer, instinctively we want to run away from it—through religion, through entertainment, reading books, through anything to get away from the suffering. Now if the mind is attentive and does not move away from suffering at all, then you will see that out of total attention comes not only energy—which means passion—but also that suffering comes to an end.”
- “Where there is fear there is no intelligence.”
- “What dissipates energy is the idea that it is not possible to change.”
- “A cup is useful only when it is empty; a mind that is filled with beliefs, with dogmas, with assertions, with quotations is really an uncreative mind.”
