Attachment and Clinging

A few quotes that I had stored up about attachment and clinging:

In fact, it’s our belief that we have to avoid discomfort, which is one of our deepest sources of unhappiness.

Everything that has a beginning has an end. That is why attachment creates suffering.
Hold your breath, try to cling to that air. You will suffer. Try to not breath in, clinging to not having air inside you. Nirvana is to stop liking either.

Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.
Be serene in the oneness of things and such
erroneous views will disappear by themselves.
When you try to stop activity by passivity
your very effort fills you with activity. ~ The Hsin Hsin Ming
