Quote by: Rene Daumal

I am dead because I lack desire, I lack desire because I think I possess. I think I possess because I do not try to give. In trying to give, you see that you have nothing;Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself; Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing:Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become; In desiring to become, you begin to live.
