A living body is not a fixed thing, but a flowing event, like a flame or a whirlpool.

When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique.

If we cling to belief in God, we cannot likewise have faith, since faith is not clinging but letting go.

We therefore work, not for the work's sake, but for money—and money is supposed to get us what we really want in our hours of leisure and play. In the United States even poor people have lots of money compared with the wretched and skinny millions of India, Africa, and China, while our middle andupper classes (or should we say "income groups") are as prosperous as princes. Yet, by and large, they have but slight taste for pleasure. Money alone cannot buy pleasure, though it can help. For enjoyment is an art and a skill for which we have little talent or energy.

When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.

You, yourself, are the eternal energy which appears as this Universe. You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean.

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
