Han San, 9th century:

There are roads, but they do not lead to the world;
Since I am mindless, who can rouse my thoughts?
On a bed of stones I sit, alone in the night,
While the moon climbs up Cold Mountain.

Li Po:

We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.

Samantha Power:

There are great benefits to connectedness,
but we haven't wrapped our minds around the costs.
