Famous quotes containing the words zen and/or war:

    “Zen ... does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.”
    —Alan Watts (1915–1973)

    “Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
    iron is iron till it is rust.
    There never was a war that was
    not inward; I must
    fight till I have conquered in myself what
    causes war, but I would not believe it.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
