Whatever is material shape, past, future, present, subjective or objective, gross or subtle, mean or excellent, whether it is far or near — all material shape should be seen by perfect intuitive wisdom as it really is: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self." Whatever is feeling, whatever is perception, whatever are habitual tendencies, whatever is consciousness, past, future, present, subjective or objective, gross or subtle, mean or excellent, whether it is far or near — all should be seen by perfect intuitive wisdom as it really is: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self."

What is a quote?

Using someone else's words and adding the name of the person who wrote or said those words.

Say you want to quote the Buddha.

Wether you understand this or not, wether I understand this or not, Buddha incarnates you. He could be you or anyone else, or both, or neither, or all that at the same time. Therefore, how do you know that you're quoting the right person?

However if you don't specify that you're using Buddha's words, then you are no longer quoting, but using your own words, Buddha being you.

Maybe the problem can be solved by signing Siddartha instead of Buddha?

But Siddartha killed himself by attaining Buddha nature.

So who is left to quote?

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.

~Voltaire

From the time I wrote Voltaire's words,

if I quote me quoting him,

and quote me quoting me quoting him,

Repetition doesn't really exist.

~Brian Eno

If you keep saying the word quote

"Have you observed that it is precisely those who do not know what to do with this life who want another that will last forever?"

"But is there life after death or is there not?"

"Is there life before death? - that is the question!"
