A book may measure so-called reality as a clock measures so-called time; a book may create an illusion of reality as a clock creates an illusion of time; a book may be real, just as a clock is real (both more real, perhaps, than those ideas to which they allude); but let's not kid ourselves - all a clock contains is wheels and springs and all a book contains is sentences.”

All activities contain dissatisfaction or pain, continuously.”
Chögyam Trungpa“Every situation is of man's making and can only contain what man contains.”
