| Dreams are an idea of the mind. There are no tangible objects beneath these sole appearances. Similarly, self and others, samsara and nirvana, are designated by the name and the knowledge about them. Thus, there is no inherent existence of any object. |

| He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Letter, April 16, 1851, to Hawthorne. The Letters of Herman Melville, eds. Merrell R. Davis and William H Gilman (1960). Melville added, “For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unencumbered travelers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet bag.” ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. Princes and lords may flourish or may fade,- A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroy'd, can never be supplied. |
| ~ Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village. Line 51. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| A gulf profound as that Serbonian bog Betwixt Damiata and Mount Casius old, Where armies whole have sunk: the parching air Burns frore, and cold performs th' effect of fire. Thither by harpy-footed Furies hal'd, At certain revolutions all the damn'd Are brought, and feel by turns the bitter change Of fierce extremes,-extremes by change more fierce; From beds of raging fire to starve in ice Their soft ethereal warmth, and there to pine Immovable, infix'd, and frozen round, Periods of time; thence hurried back to fire. |
| ~ John Milton, Paradise Lost. Book ii. Line 592. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Are twelve wise men more wise than one? or will twelve fools, put together, make one sage? Are twelve honest men more honest than one? |
