"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true." -Prince Gautama Siddharta
“How is it I haven’t seen this lofty sky before? And how happy I am that I’ve finally come to know it. Yes! everything is empty, everything is a deception, except this infinite sky. There is nothing, nothing except that. But there is not even that, there is nothing except silence, tranquility. And thank God!”
-Tolstoy, from War and Peace
