| A symbol is always in general and, however precise its translation, an artist can restore to it only its movement: there is no word-for-word rendering. Moreover, nothing is harder to understand than a symbolic work. A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, Appendix, Hope and the Absurd in the Work of Franz Kafka, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Speech and bodily activities which accompany mental process must not be allowed to run on in an indiscreet, unbridled, random way. Just as a trainer disciplines and calms a wild and willful steed by subjecting it to skillful and prolonged training, so must the wild, wandering, random activities of body and speech be tamed to make them docile, righteous, and skillful. Therefore, the teachings of Lord Buddha comprise three graded categories for disciplining the mind: shila (training in higher conduct); samadhi (training in higher meditation); and prajna (training in higher wisdom). |
