“For as long as space endures  And for as long as living beings remain,  Until then may I too abide  To dispel the misery of the world.”

“For as long as space endures And for as long as living beings remain,Until then may I too abide To dispel the misery in the world. Dalai Lama, Shantideva's Guide”

“So long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.”

“You will search the world over and not find a nonsuperstitious community. As long as there is ignorance, there will be adherence to superstition. Dispelling ignorance is the only solution. That is why I teach.”

“Something must always remain that eludes us ... For power to have an object on which it can be exercised, a space in which to stretch out its arms ... As long as I know there exists in the world someone who does tricks only for the love of the trick, as long as I know there is a woman who loves reading for reading's sake, I can convince myself that the world continues ... And every evening I, too, abandon myself to reading, like that distant unknown woman ....”

“that as long as we are being remembered, we remain alive.”
