The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.

I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.

You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.

No one can give you freedom but you.

Sometimes the concept you're questioning makes more sense to ask just the second one and not the first one.

If someone says, "Katie, you are out of order," over something I've said, or, "Katie, you are wrong," if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.

But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
