"I don't want to achieve happiness by not suffering; I want to achieve happiness by not getting hurt."

(Is this backwards? Is it?!)

(After the, uh... problematic Wody Alln:)

“I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”

Stub but quoted from another section for reference:

at least one sense in which "you" and "suffering" are "on the same side", like, you've been holding the "suffering control panel" all along, and there's a way to get access or authorization that's not suppression, not layering or papering over, there's just "pressing the off button, simple as [sic]" (realizing that "same side", and getting access, which is more like realizing you had it all along, that authorization, realization process is in part that whole-bodymind-complete, whole-meditation-complete, global wayfinding puzzle, involving self-compassion, self-alignment, self-kindness, self-wisdom, and is also intimately related to groundlessness). There are deeper and deeper and deeper layers of this.

(via:)

touchstones sort of leaving out or only weakly interacting with "wisdom" and morality ("at least one sense in which")
