Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.

It's not that we fear the place of darkness, but that we don't think we are worth the effort to find the place of light.

When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel; "I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you."

Every moment that I am centered in the future I suffer a temporary loss of this life.

All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.

Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now.

Whenever I find myself arguing for something with great passion, I can be certain I'm not convinced.
