“We don't attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to tbe true in the moment.”

“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.”

“Little moments attach themselves to other little moments and collect into big dreams. We become what we experience.”

“When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.”

“It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”

“Our attachments are our temple, what we worship, no? What we give ourselves to, what we invest with faith. . . . Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care.”
