Image
I would teach my child to respect what is right - the word right is a difficult word to use - I would teach him to respect the intrinsic value of things. Do you see what I mean? The true proportion of things.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
One does not concern oneself with the expressions, but rather with life. You are looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope when you look at the expressions of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Conflict is not in the feeling of being in love. The feeling of being in love is utterly without conflict. There is no loss of energy in being in love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom lies outside the pattern of society but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you leave the pool you have dug for yourself and go out into the river of life then life has an astonishing way of taking care of you, because then there is no taking care on your part.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
