You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To follow implies not only the denying of one's own clarity, investigation, integrity and honesty, but it also implies that your motive in following is reward.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is disciplined, controlled, is free within its own pattern but that is not freedom. The end of discipline is conformity its path leads to the known, and the known is never the free.
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
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As we are - the world is.
