“We are prisoners of the world's demented sink. The soft enchantments of our years of innocence Are harvested by accredited experience Our fondest memories soon turn to poison And only oblivion remains in season.” WorldLifeYearsTurnsMemoriesExperienceSeasonsRemainsAgingInnocencePoisonPrisonerLife ExperienceOblivionEnchantmentDemented Book:Selected poems Source: Selected poems
“The word 'innocence' means 'incapable of being hurt'. To have a mind that is not capable of being hurt, does not mean that it has built up a lot of resistance - on the contrary, such a mind is dying to everything that it has known in which there has been conflict, pleasure and pain. Only then is the mind innocent; that means it can love. You cannot love with memory, love is not a matter of remembrance, of time.” MindMeanDoeHas BeensMatterPainHurtMemoriesLove IsPleasureKnownDyingLove YouConflictCapableBuiltContraryResistanceInnocentInnocenceIncapableRemembrancePain And PleasureBeing Hurt Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Some may remember, if you have good memories, that there used to be a concept in Anglo-American law called a presumption of innocence, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now that's so deep in history that there's no point even bringing it up, but it did once exist.” IfsMayRememberLawUsedMemoriesConceptsCourtInnocentUsed To BeGuiltyInnocenceProvenNo PointPresumptionGood MemoriesAmerican LawPresumption Of Innocence Author:Noam Chomsky
