“Practicing silence periods daily works for your mind in the same way that anti-virus software and firewalling protect your computer against virus attacks. Silence or mouna, practiced daily, helps prevent wasteful, debilitating, thoughts and emotions like anger, greed, jealousy, hatred, self-pity, self-doubt, guilt, fear, worry and such from invading your mind. mouna firewalls your thinking and helps you stay anchored – happily, peacefully, in the now.”

In fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.”

“Practicing what you preach is the world’s most eloquent sermon.”
“Practicing wonder is a powerful tool against despair. It works nearly the same muscles as hope, in that you find yourself believing in goodness and beauty even when the evidence gives you every reason to believe that goodness and beauty are void. This can feel like a risk to those of us who have had our dreams colonized, who have known the devastation of hope unfulfilled. I once heard the Japanese artist Makoto Fujimura say, "The most courageous thing we can do as a people is to behold." This gave me great empathy for those who have lost their wonder. For myself. We are not to blame for what the world has so relentlessly tried to crush in us, but we are endangered because of it.”

“Praestat angustus esse quam fractus!
It is better to be narrow than broken."
The Message: It is better to live a life of limitations, discipline, or virtue, to be narrow (lat. angustus) than to live without bounds and end up broken (lat. fractus) by the consequences (e.g. corruption, exhaustion, moral ruin, or ruinous choices). It is a call to moderation, virtue, and self-restraint over excessive freedom that leads to destruction (spiritual, financial or physical).”

“Pragmatism , in trying to turn experimental physics into a prototype of all science and to model all spheres of intellectual life after the techniques of the laboratory, is the counterpart of modern industrialism, for which the factory is the prototype of human existence, and which models all branches of culture after production on the conveyor belt.”

“Pragmatism asks its usual question. "Grant an idea or belief to be true," it says, "what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth's cash-value in experiential terms?”

“Pragmatism, by its very name, poses above all as a 'pholosophy of action'; its more or less avowed assumption is that man only has needs of a practical order, material ones and, together with these, sentimental ones. It means, then, the doing away with intellectuality; but, if this is so, why go on wanting to evolve theories? That is rather hard to understand; and if pragmatism, like skepticism, which it only differs from with regard to action, wished to conform to its own standards, it would have to limit itself to a mere mental attitude, which it cannot even seek to justify logically without giving itself the lie; but there is no doubt that it is very difficult to keep strictly within such bounds.”

Instead they gravitate towards writers who actually have lived not simply in, but inside, a location for an extended period, as one lives inside one's clothes.”
“Prague is the Paris of the '90s.”
