“I spent more hours than I can count a quiet witness to the highly mannered, manifold expressions of life that grace our planet.

“Eric Schlosser's book on the economy and strategies of the fast-food business should be read by anyone who likes to take their children to fast-food restaurants. I shall certainly never do that again. He employs a long, cold burn, a quiet and impassioned accumulation of detail, with calm, wit and clarity. (...) Fast Food Nation is witness to the rigour and seriousness of the best American journalism, readable, reliable and extremely carefully done.” ShouldChildrenLongBookDoneNationsEconomyColdQuietStrategyCalmDetailsWitLikesClarityJournalismWitnessRestaurantsSeriousnessAccumulationEricFast FoodImpassionedRigourBest AmericanFast Food NationFast Food Restaurants Author:Adam Nicolson
“Change no one. Change nothing. React to no one, react to nothing. Do not live in the past and do not, worry about the future. Stay in the eternal now, where all is well. After all you are me and I am you. There's no difference. Do not react to the world. Do not even react to your own body. Do not even react to your own thoughts. Learn to become the witness. Learn to be quiet.” WorldWellsBodyPastChangeDifferencesWorryLearningFutureQuietEternalWitnessStillness Author:Robert Adams
“When the mind is quiet, we come to know ourselves as the pure witness. We withdraw from the experience and its experiencer and stand apart in pure awareness, which is between and beyond the two. The personality, based on self-identification, on imagining itself to be something: 'I am this, I am that', continues, but only as a part of the objective world. Its identification with the witness snaps.” KnowsWorldMindTwoSelfAwarenessPersonalityPureQuietObjectivesWitnessSnapsIdentification Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
