Stuck In The Mud

"To think, yes, even to think, is to act. Only in absolute daydreams, where no activity intervenes, where all consciousness of ourselves gets terminally stuck to mud - only there in that warm, damp state on not-being can one truly abandon all action.

Not wanting to understand, not analysing...To observe oneself as one observes the nature; to gaze on one's impressions as one would on a field - that is true wisdom."

in "The Book of Disquiet", by Fernando PESSOA
