One thought follows another without interruptions. But if you allow these thoughts to link up to a chain, you put yourself in bondage.
—Zen Saying

Zen is like a spring coming out of a mountain. It doesn't flow in order to quench the thirst of a traveler, but if the traverlers want to help themselves to it, that's fine. It's up to you what you do with the water; the spring's job is just to flow.
—Alan Watts

And do not change. Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple and ordinary: animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true.
—Rainer Maria Rilke

The sound of the water says what I think.
—Chuang-Tzu
