About This Quote

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. It's like a bird: if you cut off its wings, it cannot fly; if you cut off its legs, it cannot run. But if you remove its head, then the bird can fly; if you remove its wings, it can run; if you remove its legs, it can walk. It's like that with people: if you cut off their affection, they cannot live; if you cut off their wings, they cannot fly; if you cut off their legs, they cannot run. If you cut off their heads, however, they can survive.
