Buddha Excellent Quotes & Sayings

I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

And boy, Achilles and Ajax got what they wanted, believe me. And thereafter, at frequent intervals, I would write something. It was really quite extraordinary. Never of very high merit, but the daringness of it was. — James A. Michener
