“The boat is safer anchored at the port; but that’s not the aim of boats.”

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

“Words like anchors, tethering boats of memory that would otherwise be settled by the storm.”

“Uh, folks, I think that’s our boat trying to kill us. (Scott)”

“This was an evil beyond thinking. The killing of a man was not so evil as the killing of a boat. For a boat does not have sons, and a boat cannot protect itself, and a wounded boat does not heal.”

“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.”
