Aldous Huxley
“The harder we try with the conscious will to do something, the less we shall succeed."
“Proficiency and the results of proficiency come only to those who have learned the paradoxical art of doing and not doing, or combining relaxation with activity, of letting go as a person in order that the immanent and transcendent unknown quantity may take hold.”
The more we want something, the more difficulty we find in it.
The more you want to be rich, the more frustrating your poor life becomes.
The more you want to be loved and desired by people, the more alone you feel.
In the end it's desire that's killing us
