Most words evolved as a description of the outside world, hence their inadequacy to describe what is going on inside me.

Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.

Now that I know that I am no wiser than anyone else, does this wisdom make me wiser?

Moods should be heard but never danced to.

Within me is the potential to commit every evil act I see being committed by other men, and unless I feel this potential, I can at any moment be controlled by these same urges. I am free from these urges only if I recognize when I am feeling them, and while feeling them and acknowledging them to be me, choose not to follow them. Only in this way can I begin to regain the disowned parts of me. And only in this way can I know what it is I am criticizing in others.

Don't fight a fact, deal with it.

Love, the magician, knows this little trick whereby two people walk in different directions yet always remain side by side.
