It's hard to describe what flying feels like when you're standing on the ground.

What can one stone tell you about the mountain?

If you only know what has happened to you, you know nothing.

Pain and pleasure are a part of everyone's experience: one is not truer than the other.

Make music out of whatever comes to you.

Experiences for which there are no words get along without them.

We must trust our own experience and at the same time not discount the experience of others.

Words can be preserved, experience cannot. And that's why humanity clings to its words.

We live in an age when knowing things has become a substitute for experiencing them.
