Love is who we are without our stories.

To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.

When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.

Insanity is arguing with reality.

Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.

It's a wonderful world when you have what you want at all times.

I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. "If I feel peaceful," they say, "why would I bother taking action at all?"
