Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment
Hilaire Belloc
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves
him.
Buddha
