To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.

Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.

You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.

To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.

Put your stressful thoughts on paper, question them, and have a great life.

The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, "Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think."

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.
