Do we discover something new by looking for it? Something new is not necessarily the opposite of something old, it is not the opposite of that what is. If something new is being projected out of something old, it is nothing more than a somewhat enhanced continuation of the old. Recognition always leans on the past, everything recognizable is never new. Searching for something comes forth from torments of the present. That is why when we are searching for something, it is already known to us. You search for consolation, and you will probably find it, but that too will pass, because the urge to find something in itself is fleeting. Longing for something - for joy, for God, for anything - is always fleeting.
--Krishnamurti

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
