"I felt like a fool. I had misread reality, once again failing to realize that, as the Hindus say, all is maya, illusion. Things are not as they seem. We humans do not know a damn thing.

"But you cannot prove it. If you were born blind, you cannot see it. If you want proof, you will never be enlightened."
"Humans, even nomadic ones, need a sense of home. Home need not be one place or any place at all, but every home has two essential elements: a sense of community and, even more importantly, a history."
"'There is no such thing as personal happiness,' [Karma Ura] told me. 'Happiness is one hundred percent relational.'"
"'There is no such thing as personal happiness,' [Karma Ura] told me. 'Happiness is one hundred percent relational.'"
