"The one who wanders independant in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world."

yeah...maybe i'm weird. ok, there's no maybe too it. but, i like it.
for instance..."The moment I take Christianity as a doctrine and so indulge my cleverness or profoundity or my eloquence or my imaginative powers in depicting it, people are very pleased: I am looked upon as as serious Christian. The moment I begin to express existentially what I say, and consequently to bring Christianity into reality, it is just as though I had exploded existence - the scandal is there at once."
Well that's great.
ok smart guy:)
