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?"

The world is a projection of our thoughts - the thoughts we believe.

Reality is always the story of a past, and what I love about the past is—it's over.

Sadness isn't a natural response.

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

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

We've been looking outside us for our own peace. We've been looking in the wrong direction.
