We take refuge in pride because we are afraid to tell the truth to ourselves.
- Kakuzo Okakura
"This is my child, this is my wealth": such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
- Buddha
When facing a single tree, if you look at a single one of its red leaves, you will not see all the others. When the eye is not set on one leaf, and you face the tree with nothing at all in mind, any number of leaves are visible to the eye without limit. But if a single leaf holds the eye, it will be as if the remaining leaves were not there.

With no intention to call them when they come
And no longing for their return when they fly away.
