Keep your heart clear and transparent
And you will never be bound.
A single disturbed thought, though,
Creates ten thousand distractions.
Let myriad things captivate you
And you'll go further and further astray.
How painful to see people
All wrapped up in themselves.

- Ryokan

Uncle Phil, actually, " je suis un chien" is ( 'suis' from verbe 'suivre' means 'to follow'). A lot of French people it messed up too.

It all began with Adam. He was the first man to tell a joke--or a lie. How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before. Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden, however, and does not deserve all the credit; much is due to Eve, the first woman, and Satan, the first consultant.
-Mark Twain

The quest is to be liberated from the negative, which is really our own will to nothingness. And, once having said yes to the instant, the affirmation is contagious. It bursts into a chain of affirmations that knows no limit. To say yes to one instant, is to say yes to all of existence.

-Waking Life

I hope this thread keeps going. Very insightful words to be found here.

Some more:

Man wants chaos. In fact, he's gotta have it: depression, strife, riots, murder, all this dread. We're irresistably drawn to that almost orgiastic state created out of death and destruction. It's in all of us; We revel in it.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
