Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the precious, the incommunicable past.
Willa Cather
The nature of the mind is to interpret non-essentials essential. The mind creates artificial needs, believing it cannot live without them. In this way we carry a great burden of attachments throughout our life. Attachment is itself a great burden on our minds. We may never understand the extent of the burden till we’re free of it. But if we find joy within, we can live a simple life, free of endless complications.
Radhanath Swami
I am also, I must confess, a little sceptical of the theory that we have a right, if we could, to pass on our capital burden to future generations. I remarked last year in this context that our predecessors had not passed any significant part of their burden on to us.
John James Cowperthwaite
Gratitude is a burden, and every burden is made to be shaken off.
Denis Diderot
He transforms all concepts into incommunicable, solidified objects. To refute him is to become contaminated with unreality.
