Summary

This quote emphasizes the core principle of the Dharma, which is to recognize and understand the root cause of our suffering. According to Buddhist teachings, suffering arises from attachment, desire, and ignorance. By closely examining our thoughts, emotions, and actions, we can gain insight into the underlying causes of our inner turmoil and suffering. This awareness then enables us to transcend these causes and find peace and liberation. Ultimately, the essence of the Dharma lies in the pursuit of self-reflection and self-transformation to alleviate suffering and attain enlightenment.

May I repeat what I told you here: treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air.

Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.

George Bernard Shaw
