A student asked: "For all the different people who have come to listen to your words, please tell us about the way you have found and known."

The Buddha answered: "When you take things it is because of a thirst, a clinging, and a grasping. You should lose that and lose it altogether, above, below, around, and within. It makes no difference what it is you are grasping. When you grasp, you are losing your freedom. Realize this and grasp at nothing. Then you will cease being a creature of attachment, tied to the powers of death."

-Sutta Nipata

I love that.
It's so true, and informative.
..Makes you think and want to attempt to 'cease being a creature of attachment', though that is a very challenging thing to accomplish to most.
