You may repeat the most marvelous poems. And that is not worth a cent if you don't live it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We all place ourselves at various levels, and we are constantly falling from these heights. It is the falls we are ashamed of. Self-esteem is the cause of our shame, of our fall. It is this self-esteem that must be understood, and not the fall.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
