Things are not what they seem, they are what they are.

Reality favors symmetry.

Life and death are nothing but the mind. Years, months, days, and hours are nothing but the mind. Dreams, illusions, and mirages are nothing but the mind. The bubbles of water and the flames of fire are nothing but the mind. The flowers of the spring and the moon of the autumn are nothing but the mind. Confusions and dangers are nothing but the mind.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

Facts as facts do not always create a spirit of reality, because reality is a spirit.

The real world is not easy to live in. It is rough; it is slippery. Without the most clear-eyed adjustments we fall and get crushed. A man must stay sober: not always, but most of the time.

You too must not count overmuch on your reality as you feel it today, since, like that of yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow.

The very greatest mystery is in unsheathed reality itself.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.

After all, what is reality anyway? Nothin' but a collective hunch.
