“One has to find out the meaning of living, not merely giving an intellectual significance to it, but looking at what it means to live. And one has also to go into this question of what love is, and what it means to die.  All this has to be examined in the conscious and the deep, hidden recesses of one’s own mind.” Jiddu Krishnamurti (Flight of the Eagle)

“While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die – – whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.” Gilda Radner

“I wanted a perfect ending.  Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle or end.  Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.” Gilda Radner

“Liberation does not come when you conquer your ego, silence it, or through repression and denial get it to behave ‘properly.’  Liberation comes when we release our attachment to the habitual conditioned nature and structure of our temporary egos.” Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi (Liberation)
