Yann Martel

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.

Anthony de Mello

Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it.

Alexandre Dumas

There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
