More From Laura Hillenbrand

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. it is a way of bitter suffering. but then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is god, the indivisible. and suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
Loneliness Self Soul
There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

80 percent of the export of armament in the world comes from the g8 countries. [the] united states alone exports about 50 percent of the world's armament, [for] which, of course, there has to be buyers, and the buyers are very terribly keen, very often military dictator[s] or sometimes not military dictator[s] but for military purposes. but the sellers are also promoting this trade. and two thirds of the arm exports go to developing countries. i'm in favor of putting a control on it, a ban on it.

Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that i can become more human.
Buddhism Humanness Is Challenges
I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker. sometimes too, in a message which superficially is not very important, i hear a deep human cry that lies buried and unknown far below the surface of the person. so i have learned to ask myself, can i hear the sounds and sense the shape of this other person's inner world? can i resonate to what he is saying so deeply that i sense the meanings he is afraid of, yet would like to communicate, as well as those he knows?
Lying Feelings Important
Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form (this, in spite of suspicions to the contrary on the part of their wise men, was the ideal of the ancients). he is nothing else than the narrow and perilous bridge between nature and spirit. his innermost destiny drives him on to the spirit and to god. his innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute.

O mistress mine, where are you roaming? o, stay and hear; your true love's coming, that can sing both high and low: trip no further, pretty sweeting; journeys end in lovers meeting, every wise man's son doth know. what is love? 'tis not hereafter; present mirth hath present laughter; what's to come is still unsure: in delay there lies not plenty; then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty, youth's a stuff will not endure.

The believer is happy. the doubter is wise.

But wise is the man who disdains no character, but with searching glance explores him to the root and cause of all.
Wise Character Men
The earliest instinct of the child, and the ripest experience of age, unite in affirming simplicity to be the truest and profoundest part for man. likewise this simplicity is so universal and all-containing as a rule for human life, that the subtlest bad man, and the purest good man, as well as the profoundest wise man, do all alike present it on that side which they socially turn to the inquisitive and unscrupulous world.
