We are identifying with what is passing so fear comes. We are trying to make steady and permanent what is by nature impermanent.

Mooji

You do not suffer because things are impermanent. You suffer because things are impermanent and you think they are permanent.

Nhat Hanh

Knowing all objects to be impermanent, let not their contact blind you, resolve again and again to be aware of the Self that is permanent.

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya

Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.

Patanjali

The impermanent, which is the body, is given too much importance. The permanent, which is the Atman, is completely forgotten. This should change.

Mata Amritanandamayi

There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.

Garry Winogrand

As an amateur you have an advantage over photographers - you can do as you wish... This should make amateurs the happiest of photographers.

Andreas Feininger

We completely deny the existence of a self-existent I, or a permanent, independent soul. Every aspect of your body and mind is impermanent: changing, changing, changing.

Thubten Yeshe

There is the joy that is one's state of the being and there is the joy that is one's state of mind. The first is permanent and the second is impermanent.

Ian Gardner

As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.

B.K.S. Iyengar

Over and over victims are blamed for their assaults. And when we imply that victims bring on their own fates - whether to make ourselves feel more efficacious or to make the world seem just - we prevent ourselves from taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves. Why take precautions? We deny the trauma could easily have happened to us. And we also hurt the people already traumatized. Victims are often already full of self-doubt, and we make recovery harder by laying inspectors blame on them.

Anna C Salter

In trans-border relations, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies or even permanent borders. There are only permanent interests and everything should be done to secure these interests.

Chanakya

The main thing is to study pictures and stop listening to the pontifictaions of photographers. Photographers aren't oracles of wisdom. If they're good photographers, then take a good look at their pictures - what else do you need?

Elliott Erwitt

[Women photographers] provide an inspiring reminder to all women that the choice to see, or be seen, is ours. We live in a culture in which this decision is undermined by the notion that the single most valuable contribution a woman can make is to be visually attractive. Women photographers make a strong case for seeing and an even stronger case for recording what you see.

Diane Keaton

There is no reaching the Self. If Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not here and now but that it is yet to be obtained. What is got afresh will also be lost. So it will be impermanent. What is not permanent is not worth striving for. So I say the Self is not reached. You are the Self; you are already That.

Ramana Maharshi

There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it. And when we turn around to find the self which knows this moment, we find that it has vanished like the past.

Alan Watts
