Nothing changes until it becomes what it is.

If you take responsibility for what you are doing to yourself, how you produce your symptoms, how you produce your illness, how you produce your existence-the very moment you get in touch with yourself-growth begins, integration begins.

...nobody can stand truth if it is told to him. Truth can be tolerated only if you discover it yourself because then, the pride of discovery makes the truth palatable.

Learning is to discover that something is possible. We are using most of our energies for self-destructiv e games, self-preventing games. We prevent ourselves from growing the very moment something unpleasant, something painful comes up. At that moment we become phobic, we run away, we desensitize ourselves. Neurotic suffering is suffering in imagination, suffering in fantasy.

The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise man knows he's playing.

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference.

We live in a house of mirrors and think we are looking out the windows.
