“Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs.

—Ralph Harper (b. 1915)

“The sage as astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something “above you,” you still lack viewpoint of knowledge.”
