”Odată maestrul Zen Bankei a spus unor oameni: – Când m-am simțit prima oară inspirat să caut iluminarea, din cauză că nu am beneficiat de îndrumarea unui maestru eliberat, am practicat tot felul de austerități, neglijându-mi trupul. Câteodată am renunțat la contactul cu alți oameni și am trăit în izolare. Altădată mi-am făcut o cușcă din hârtie și am stat în interiorul ei, sau am coborât paravanele la ferestre și am stat într-o cameră întunecoasă, în poziția lotus, fără să-mi întind picioarele timp îndelungat, până când coapsele mi s-au umplut de răni și de puroi care mi-au lăsat cicatrici permanente. Apoi, cum auzeam de existența unui îndrumător care trăia undeva prin vreo provincie, cum mă duceam la el să-l întâlnesc. Câțiva ani după aceasta, puține mai erau locurile din Japonia unde eu să nu fi fost. Toate acestea s-au datorat faptului că nu întâlnisem un îndrumător iluminat. Când mintea mi […]
”- Dorința mea nu s-a schimbat nici până acum. Vreau să devin om, căci oamenii sunt cele mai înzestrate creaturi de pe pământ. Oamenii sunt stăpâni atât pe uscat, cât și pe mare, iar de ar vrea, oamenii ar stăpâni și văzduhul. De aceea vreau să devin un om, chiar de aș fi cel mai umil de pe pământ. – Ciudată dorință ai, răspunse Batara Yama. Tu ești drept și cinstit ca oricare animal, iar viața oamenilor e plină de nedreptăți. Cei drepți și cinstiți sunt umiliți și rămân săraci, iar cei vicleni și răi sunt puternici și bogați. De vei deveni om, nu-ți vei putea schimba firea ta dreaptă, ca atare vei fi sărac și umilit. Mai vrei să devii om? – Vreau, de o mie de ori vreau, măcar pentru o singură zi, răspunse marele șarpe boa foarte hotărât.” ”Marele șarpe Boa” (povestire populară din Java)
”Dar vezi, dacă răutatea merge prea departe, nu se poate să rămână nepedepsită, căci blestemul oamenilor săraci e mai greu decât muntele Merapi.” ”Marele șarpe Boa” (povestire populară din Java)
”Ești stăpânul cuvintelor nerostite și sclavul celor pe care nu le-ai spus.” (Proverb chinezesc)

A-ha – ”I call your name”
We got married on a cold mid-winter’s morning We said our lines then kissed and it was over Those pronouncements had such weight I guess they made us hesitate, hesitate When she moved her hips and swayed in my direction I thought we could make it yet And beat the isolation But in that gentle dark Man, we tore ourselves apart Through the fire and rain Through the wilderness and pain Through the losses, through the gains On love’s rollercoaster train I call your name I call your name Through the fire and rain Through the wilderness and pain Through the losses, through the gains On love’s roller coaster train I call your name We used to laugh Is the fire dying, babe? It hurts to ask Let me hold you for a while Through the fire and rain On love’s roller coaster train I call your name I call […]
Tori Amos – ”Bouncing off clouds”
Bouncing off of clouds we were Is there a love lost and found? Make it easy, make this easy It’s not as heavy as it seems Wrapped in metal, wrapped in ivy Paint it in mint ice cream We could be bouncing off the top of this cloud (I’ll put on my silver) Bouncing off the top of this cloud Failure to respond but I did, but did you listen? Bouncing off the top of this cloud (I’ll put on my silver) About what you said, has it come to this? (I’ll put on my silver) Bouncing off the top of this cloud Well, you can stare all day at the sky But that won’t bring her back, that won’t bring her back You said you’re waiting on fate But I think fate is now, I think fate is now waiting on us Make this easy, easy, easy We could […]
Slipknot – ”Danger keep away”
We, too, feel alone We, too, feel alone We, too, feel alone We’ve to feel alone We, too, feel alone We, too, feel alone That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine Where have I been all this time? Lost, enslaved, fatal decline I’ve been waiting for this to unfold (Good) The pieces are only as good as the whole Severed myself from my own life Cut out the only thing that was right What if I never saw you again? I’d die right next to you in the end That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine I won’t let you walk away Without hearing what I have to say Without hearing what I have to say […]

Counting Crows – ”Mr. Jones”
„Mr.Jones” I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black- haired flamenco dancer She dances while his father plays guitar She’s suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down through the morning Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything I want to be someone who believes Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales Stare at the beautiful women „She’s looking at you. Ah, no, no, she’s looking at me.” Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray All of the beautiful colors are very […]
The Veils – ”The wild son”
Your knives are sharp When you put them in my heart Though the truth, you’d say, Is I like them there that way From this hoodlum skin I can always run to him Undeserved, capsized In the gutters of his eyes Darling I need you far more than I say None of my fears are as dear to me And a great light dims Every day I’m torn from him And our stars align In Elysian Fields at night And the wheels, they turn And the fallen heather burns At a loss and scared In exile and unprepared Darling I need you far more than I say None of my fears are as dear to me Darling I need you far more than I say None of my fears are as dear to me Blessed’s the night Blessed’s the night Blesses’s the night When none of my fears are as […]
