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

I have no other self than the totality of things of which I am aware.

Stay in the center, and you will be ready to move in any direction.

We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

Human desire tends to be insatiable.

I owe my solitude to other people.

When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.

We know that from time to time, there arise among human beings, people who seem to exude love as naturally as the sun gives out heat.

Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.

The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.

Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.

Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.

Art is the most effective mode of communications that exists.

Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.

I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

As so often happens, I discover that it would have been better to keep my mouth shut.
