"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."

"Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning."

"What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else."

"One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that."

-Joseph Campbell

"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one can not walk away from it..."

“There is nothing of which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.”

“Once you label me, you negate me.”

“Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.”

-- Soren Kierkegaard

"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there."

"The truth knocks on the door and you say, go away, I'm looking for the truth, and it goes away. Puzzling."

"The solutions all are simple - after you have arrived at them. But they're simple only when you know already what they are."

"To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top."

-Robert Pirsig
