“Sunrise is a necessary concomitant of long railway journeys, like hard-boiled eggs, illustrated papers, packs of cards, rivers upon which boats strain but make no progress.”

“Guru is not the goal. Anyone who establishes himself as a guru to be worshipped is not a guru. Guru is like a boat for crossing the river. It is important to have a good boat and it is very dangerous to have a boat that is leaking. The boat brings you across the river. When the river is crossed the boat is no longer necessary. You don't hang onto the boat after completing the journey, and you certainly don't worship the boat.”

“Truth! Freedom! Justice! And a hard-boiled egg!”

“Evolution is necessary for ones progress…. resisting it could make one sore in mind and spirit and then unable to enjoy the journey.”

“Some boats are rotten in the ports; some boats shine in the hard journeys!”

“You always had an eye for the fellow with a decent helping of sausage and hard-boiled eggs.”
