“Words can be communicative only between those who share similar experiences.”

You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.

In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it’s all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

If one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.

Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

The relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.

Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present.

I am what happens between the maternity ward and the Crematorium.

The art of meditation is a way of getting into touch with reality, and the reason for it is that most civilized people are out of touch with reality.

Our pleasures are not material pleasures, but symbols of pleasure – attractively packaged but inferior in content.

I find that the sensation of myself as an ego inside a bag of skin is really a hallucination.

The ego-self constantly pushes reality away. It constructs a future out of empty expectations and a past out of regretful memories.

When you find out that there was never anything in the dark side to be afraid of, Nothing is left but to love.

The clash between science and religion has not shown that religion is false and science is true. It has shown that all systems of definition are relative to various purposes, and that none of them actually ‘grasp’ reality.

In fact, truth cannot be communicated until it is perceived.

Love is simply a bundle of feelings that we express, whether to attract, arouse or communicate our thoughts to someone else.

Being able to communicate our thoughts, ideas and feelings is the most liberated we can ever be.

It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.

Unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result.

Communication starts with the understanding that there is my point of view (my truth) and someone else’s point of view (his truth). Rarely is there one absolute truth, so people who believe that they speak the truth are very silencing of others.
