An adult is one who has lost the grace, the freshness, the innocence of the child, who is no longer capable of feeling pure joy, who makes everything complicated, who spreads suffering everywhere, who is afraid of being happy, and who, because it is easier to bear, has gone back to sleep. The wise man is a happy child.
Arnaud DesjardinsThe law commands us to do what we would do naturally if we only had love. The Way consists of finding that love, which then becomes the law.
Arnaud DesjardinsTerrible or not, difficult or not, the only thing that is beautiful, noble, religious, and mystical is to be happy.
Arnaud DesjardinsYou cannot live sheltered forever without being exposed, and at the same time be a spiritual adventurer. Be audacious. Be crazy in your own way, with that madness in the eyes of man that is wisdom in the eyes of God. Take risks, search and search again, search everywhere, in every way, do not let a single opportunity or chance that life offers pass you by, and do not be petty and mean, trying to drive a hard bargain.
