“ "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius““Did not Atman dwell inside him, did not the primal source flow within his own heart?””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself ... the constant fluttering of human beings around the one flame of vanity is so much the rule and the law that there is virtually nothing which defies understanding so much as the fact that an honest and pure drive towards truth should ever have emerged in them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images; their eyes merely glide across the surface of things and see 'forms'; nowhere does their perception lead to truth.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Those who are well constituted in the body endure both heat and cold: and so those who are well constituted in the soul endure both anger and grief and excessive joy and the other effects.”
Fragment • Epictetus“People who are so much at the mercy of their moods should never be given serious responsibilities.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
