“The very essence of I is being killed by You.”
“And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.”
“Through recognizing and realizing the empty essence, instead of being selfish and self-centered, one feels very open and free”
“You are my life, my very essence,You are the air that I breathe,You are the key to my repentanceWhich I confess is not a breeze!”
“It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. (Algernon in The Importance of Being Ernest)”
“Stillness offers an experience of being and a recognition that being . . . my essence . . . is a part of all Being, all Essence.”
