“Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment.”
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) 20th century English author
“When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.”
