Quotes
Integrity
Integrity is the essence of everything successful. – R. Buckminster Fuller
Eternal Name
The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnameable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things.

Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. – Tao Te Ching, Ch.1, interpreted by Stephen Michell
Present
The moment you start seeking you have moved away from the present, away from yourself, because you are always in the present.

Don’t seek and find.” – Osho, Book of Secrets

Beyond the Dream
The very idea of going beyond the dream is illusory. Why go anywhere? Just realize that you are dreaming a dream you call the world, and stop looking for ways out. The dream is not your problem.

When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that need be done. – Nisargadatta Maharaj
