Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.

No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.

It makes sense that no one else can cause you pain. That's your job.

If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.

Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.

It's quite an amazing experience to see the same life with and without the thought. We come to see how crazy a thought can make us when we believe it.
