Self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom, which is the ending of fear. - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

Peace is not something between two wars, or the peace of the politician. Peace is something entirely different.

The acceptance of authority is caused by disturbance and disorder. The effect is the authority, and the reaction to that is to conform or to deny. This very denial assumes another form of authority. Where there is no freedom, there must be authority. This brings about suppression, control or escape, and the very movement of these culminates in a principle or belief, a standard which assumes dominance. The cause is never permanent; the cause becomes the effect and the effect becomes the next cause. When this is clearly understood, not intellectually but actually, then the negation of this chain is freedom. Knowledge has its own authority-experience and memory. But as long as one remains within that field, the creative movement of freedom is non-existent. Freedom is space, and space is order.
