This is why I am continuing my travels—not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers and to reach my goal by myself

“In one book I read about death that it's like when you're a child playing outside in the snow, and your mother watches you through the window, and then she calls you. You've just been out playing for long enough, and it's time to go home. You've tumbled about in the snowdrifts, you're wet, your felt boots are full of snow. You'd like to go on and on playing, but it's time. And it's no good trying to argue. You're stubborn, and that's really great. There's only a little handful of you left, and you're still clinging on to life. You don't want to go.”

“My point is, there’s always something. I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we’re living at the climax of the story. It’s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we’re uniquely important, that we’re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millennia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it’s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world.”
