Jiddu Krishnamurti
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
To keep always in the same place means to stagnate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The difference between me and you is... that I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Ugliness and evil are necessary for growth but they may be experienced vicariously.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
