Lightning Quotes
-

This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche

This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world:
Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream;
Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream.
So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
