I am entirely motivated without anger. The truth sets us free, and freedom acts.

Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

What I say and what I'm really experiencing - those universes are very different.

Some children are afraid to die because their parents are afraid to die. My own children have come to understand that it's totally okay with me if they die. They don't have to live for my sake.

Who would you be without your story?

Until you can love what is - everything, including the apparent violence and craziness - you're separate from the world, and you'll see it as dangerous and frightening.
