— Jiddu Krishnamurti

„When the mind seeks truth, the truth it has read about in books, that "truth" is self-projected, for then the mind is merely in pursuit of the known, a more satisfactory known than the previous one. When the mind seeks truth, it is seeking its own self-projection, not truth.“
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
„My temptation is quiet.Here at life’s endNeither loose imagination,Nor the mill of the mindConsuming its rag and bone,Can make the truth known.“
— W.B. Yeats
