Lillie let out a sound of frustration. “What is it with guys? Spencer’s has said the exact same thing to me a dozen times. He thinks it’d be better for everyone if he goes to Alaska and lives alone in the wilderness. Are all men born with the same macho crap in their DNA?”

“Zasmuca mnie jednak to, że zapomnieliśmy naszych imion. Już pomijając wszystko inne, to wydaje mi się najbardziej tragiczne. Tęsknie za swoim i opłakuję te należące do innych, ponieważ chciałbym ich kochać , a nie wiem, kim są.”

Ne mora biti krv koja je od srca do mozga stigla da shvatiš o čemu ono snuje dok misliš da spavaš… Ponekad je dovoljan otkucaj jedan da njime zavapiš, iskreno, najiskrenije, toliko iskreno da ni sama ne znaš koliko je predan Onome Koji ga mogućim čini, da bude saslušan i uvažen kao vrijedan.”

“Zavalio se i gledao u nebo - široko, prostrano, bez ikakvih vidnih ograničenja. Čitao je da nije jedino i da se još širi i pokreće, i onda mu je padalo na um koliko smo mi zaista mali. I znači li to da čak i da čovek jednom stvarno skine okove ovog sveta, opet će udariti u novi krov, plav ili crn, istančan zvezdama ili nečim nepoznatim što će vremenom takođe postati obično. Čemu onda sve ovo? Nije ovaj svet po meri čoveka jer čovek nije po meri neba.”

“Zavallı küçük bir göçmen olarak karaya ayak basmış olsaydı, nerede kalırdı acaba? Evet, belki de onu -göçmen yasaları konusundaki bilgisine dayanarak bunu çok olası buluyordu dayı- Birleşik Devletler'e almazlardı bile, artık bir yurdu olmadığını umursamadan eve yollarlardı. Çünkü burada kimse kimseye acımazdı, Karl'ın bu açıdan Amerika hakkında okumuş olduğu şeyler de çok doğruydu; yalnızca şanslı olanlar çevrelerindeki kaygısız yüzler arasında şanslarının gerçekten tadını çıkarıyor gibiydiler.”

“Zazen is actually not complicated. The real problem is, we don’ t want to do it. If my boyfriend begins to look at other women, how long am I going to be willing simply to experience that? We all have problems constantly, but our willingness just to be is very low on our list of priorities, until we have practiced long enough to have faith in just being, so that solutions can appear naturally. Another mark of a maturing practice is the development of such trust and faith.”

“Zazen is by no means a "quick fix" panacea for all psychological ailments. While it does aim to uproot the core causes of our "normal" human spiritual dis-ease, any "abnormal" mental health issues should be addressed before one is ready to engage in the austere rigors of this spiritual discipline.”

“Zazen is indeed the posture of “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” (Luke 18:13). In our zazen we realize the illusory nature of thoughts, and no matter how powerful they might be, we don’t chase after them, try to get rid of them, or act on them. So zazen is the posture of “We know that our old self was crucified with him” (Romans 6:6) or “I have been crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2:19). In the end, zazen is the purest expression of “Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalms 46:10).”

“Zazen is not learning to do concentration. It is the dharma gate of great ease and joy. It is undivided practice-realization.”
Source: The Essential Dogen: Writings of the Great Zen Master
“Zazen is seated meditation-the opposite of contemplation-the emptying of the mind of all thoughts in order simply to be. In the midst of all evil, not a thought is aroused in the mind-this is called za. Seeing into one's Self-nature, not being moved at all-this is called Zen.”
“Zazen is the dragons roar. This dragons roar is the wind passing and whistling through a hollow tree. This can be a metaphor for your Zazen practice and or even your life. If you can let go, greatly let go, this dragons roar can manifest through you. It is much bigger than the individual.”
“Zazen is the ultimate practice. This is indeed the True Self. The Buddhadharma is not to be sought outside of this.”
“Zazen isn't about blissing out or going into an alpha brain-wave trance. It's about facing who and what you really are, in every single goddamn moment. And you aren't bliss, I'll tell you that right now. You're a mess. We all are.”

“Zazen practice and everyday activity are one thing. We call zazen everyday life, and everyday life zazen.”

“Zašto bi to bilo tako smešno, da ja mislim na ugašene vulkane, a da sam i Vezuv zavoleo, kao vulkan. Išao sam čak do ostrva Jan Majen, koje sad ljudi ne znaju, ni da izgovaraju, jer nosi ime holandskog mornara, koji je bio prost čovek, ali je to ostrvo, do smrti, tražio, ponova, u magli. Zbog tog dalekog ostrva u arktičkom moru, volim i Vezuv.
Zato sam došao u Herkulanum. Čini mi se da sam u Kordobi.
Tišina po ulicama je još veća, nego u Pompeji, a ja sam došao da vidim samo jednu kuću, iskopanu, i samo jednu zidnu sliku u toj kući. Samo to. To je slika Vezuva, stara dve hiljade godina. A sveža, kao da je tih dana slikana. Nije ni velika. Neugledna je, ali vanredno nežnih boja, i , Vezuv je na njoj naslikan, kao neki Fudžijama.
Otkud ta veza ?
Ta nežnost, prema prirodi, ta ljubav prema vulkanu, ta slika rađena sa tolikom ljubavlju – kao da je Vezuv neko dete, ili brdo Mimoro, koje je iz Azije preneto u Italiju. Ta mala slika u Herkulanumu bila je moja najmilija stvar. Nju sam dolazio da vidim.
Tu vezu među kontinentima. Tu vezu među ljudima. Tu vezu Azije sa mnom, za koju niko ne zna i koju ne mogu da protumačim.”

“Zašto prvi put nisam rekla "ne"? Zašto sam vjerovala da nemam izbora, osim izvršiti dužnost? Iako su dužnost i odanost često na suprotnim stranama, to ne znači da jedno moramo žrtvovati zbog drugoga, a da su moja dužnost i odanost bile usmjerene prema Bogu Ocu, ne bih trebala podnijeti tu žrtvu, ni birati između gazde i gospođe. Umjesto toga mogla bih izabrati Božji put, pa bi mi on naložio da kažem "ne", ali čak i bez toga puta, zašto sam tako dugo i bolno učila da, kad je riječ o meni, imam pravo odbiti!
Čak i ako je to odbijanje moglo značiti da ću izgubiti posao i dom...
Učim, učim!”

“Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was really one of the - whose name is impossible to pronounce - who was really one of the architects of this very aggressive American interventionist foreign policy, you know, really stand up to Russia, challenge them, not only Russia but China. He's changed his tune now and is basically advocating for a much more diplomatic and collaborative approach to the other power centers of the world that are just kind of moving on without us right now.”
“Zbigniew Brzezinski, you know, who was one of the authors of U.S. dominance, he's changed his mind, you know, and he's saying now we've got to learn to cooperate with other world powers. We are not the bully in the schoolyard here.We've got to deal with them. And that's my feeling.”
“Zbog toga ne moći ispričati svoju priču, biti ušutkan i isključen znači biti dehumaniziran. A to pogađa samo ljudsko postojanje; tjera čovjeka da posumnja u svoje psihičko zdravlje, valjanost svoju inačicu događaja. U nama stvara duboku egzistencijalnu tjeskobu.
Gubitkom glasa nešto u nama umire.”

“Zdawałam sobie sprawę, że kiedy ktoś tęskni za domem, wszystko tam wydaje mu się dużo ładniejsze i lepsze niż w rzeczywistości, ale tak jest łatwiej. To sposób na przetrwanie brzydoty i grozy, która nas otacza w chwili rozpaczy.”

“Ze gaat lichttherapie doen, zegt ze, want ze is depressief. Ik vraag zit je ooit buiten. Nee, nooit. Maar nu gaat ze onder gekleurde lampjes liggen, want het kan toch niet zo zijn dat al die lichttherapeuten met hun jarenlange expertise in het laten knipperen van lampjes niet op kunnen boksen tegen de zon. Die mensen leren toch niet voor niks met lampjes knipperen. Ze weten precies waar die depressie met zijn mergelgrotoogjes zich in het brein heeft verstopt, en de vleermuis van zijn iris schrikt op als het peperdure regenbooglicht naar binnen straalt. Lichttherapie. Dat deed ik vroeger in een tent, met een zaklamp. Maar die Chinese zaklampen tegenwoordig, daar maak je zo een ooievaar blind mee. Geef mij dus maar de zon, of de wattenpeertjes van de wolken, waarom hebben de depressies geen rechten?”
