And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.

We are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.

How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?

Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.

For me, the future lives only here in my mind, as thoughts and images, just as the past does, and I love those thoughts and the world that it produces. I am entirely optimistic about the future.

If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.

We suffer only until we realize that we can't know anything.
