"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects."
~ Herman Melville
+ "I never can express myself (and you can laugh as much as you please.) But do you ever feel as though someone threw you into Eternity - into the very exact centre of eternity, and even as you plunge you felt every ripple floating out from your plunging - every single ripple floating away and touching and drawing into its circle every slightest thing that it touched." ~ Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to S.S. Koteliansky

"When we learn to move beyond mistaken concepts and see clearly, we no longer solidify reality. We see waves coming and going, arising and passing. We see that life... is in a state of continual, constant transformation and flux. There is always the possibility of radical change. Every moment - not just poetically or figuratively, but literally - every moment we are dying and being reborn, we and all of life."
~ Sharon Salzberg (Thanks Ian Sanders)
