Life and love generate effort but effort will not generate them.

For the world is an ever-elusive and ever-disappointing mirage only from the standpoint of someone standing aside from it—as if it were quite other than himself—and then trying to grasp it. But a third response is possible. Not withdrawal, not stewardship on the hypothesis of a future reward, but the fullest collaboration with the world as a harmonious system of contained conflicts—based on the realization that the only real "I" is the whole endless process.

Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it.

I knew of a physicist at the University of Chicago who was rather crazy like some scientists, and the idea of the insolidity, the instability of the physical world impressed him so much that he used to go around in enormous padded slippers for fear he should fall through the floor.

It is obvious that the only interesting people are interested people, and to be completely interested is to have forgotten about "I".

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Life and love generate effort but effort will not generate them.
