Quotes

 * Wanting a haven for myself, I saw nothing that wasn’t laid claim to. Seeing nothing in the end but competition, I felt discontent. And then I saw an arrow here, so very hard to see, embedded in the heart. Overcome by this arrow you run in all directions. But simply on pulling it out you don’t run, you don’t sink.
 * 4.15 Attadanda Sutta: The Rod Embraced, as translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
