Quote by Robert Aitken

“Clover is incapable of not nurturing. It can’t do anything but nurture. Shakyamuni is capable of not nurturing. With a poisonous thought, he is a poisonous person. With an enlightened thought, he is an enlightened person. With his great realization, he is unlikely to slip back into poisonous ways, but he could, for he is human.”

“La foto había sido retocada con un programa de ordenador. La piel de Rachel era la de una modelo; habían retocado el color para que resplandeciera como una manzana. Era un error.
