That society is strong and viable which recognizes its own provisionality.

The whole point of Zen is to suspend the rules we have superimposed on things and to see the world as it is

The real you is not a puppet that life pushes around, the real deep down you is the whole universe.

If you love a person, you say to that person, "Look, I love you, whatever that may be. I've seen quite a bit of it and I know there's lots that I haven't seen, but still it's you and I want you to be what you want to be. And I won't be happy if I've got you in a cage. You'd be a bird without song."
