Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Take a journey into the things which you are carrying, the known- not into the unknown-into what you already know: your pleasures, your delights, your despairs, your sorrows. Take a journey into that, that is all you have.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
When inquiry is suppressed by previous knowledge, or by the authority and experience of another, then learning becomes mere imitation, and imitation causes a human being to repeat what is learned without experiencing it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
