Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Self-knowledge is only from moment to moment, and therefore there is a creative happiness from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
