To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.

Henry David Thoreau

Transcendentalism

as conveyed by Henry David Thoreau & Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz

As long as you’re too busy trying to become something that you’re not, you can’t see your own immortality. Try to have a more expanded sense of that which you are. Feel that you are eternity.

Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
