For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence: Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils; Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.

There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.

Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt.

Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is Awakened.

So long as the love, even the smallest, of man toward woman is not destroyed, so long is his mind in bondage as the calf that drinks milk is to its mother.

Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
