They're basically moments in which you're in touch with the meaning of life, when your relationship to the rest of the universe makes sense.

When I look for happiness, I lose it. When I stop looking, and surrender to where I am, I find it.

At the end of our time on earth, if we have lived fully, we will not be able to say, 'I was always happy.' Hopefully, we will be able to say, 'I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.'

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

There has never been, and never again will be a human being like you. There is nothing ordinary about you. If you feel ordinary, it is because you have chosen to hide the extraordinary parts of yourself from the world.

Silence has a regenerative power of its own. It is always sacred. It always returns you home.

The greatest gift you and your partner can give your children is the example of an intimate, healthy, and loving relationship.
