Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Live with no sense of 'mine,' not forming attachment to experiences.

I don't have anything that I treasure at all. They're just things. I tend to buy an awful lot of stuff, like clothes and things. But I wouldn't be bothered if my house burns down tomorrow.

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.

People are strange when you're a stranger.
