Bureaucracies force us to practice nonsense. And if you rehearse nonsense, you may one day find yourself the victim of it.

We don't understand the power of nature and the world because we don't live with it. Our environment is designed to sustain us. We are the domestic pets of a human zoo called civilization.

To survive you must find yourself then it won't matter where you are.

The summit is not the only place on the mountain.

To survive you must surrender without giving in, that is to say, fully accept the reality in all its horror and never give up the will to survive. That allows you to quickly adapt to the situation and dedicate yourself to the present moment rather than wallow in denial.

As you run out of options and energy you must become resigned to your plight. Like it or not you must make a new mental map of where you are, not where you wish you were. To survive you must find yourself, then it won't matter where you are.

The word 'experienced' often refers to someone who's gotten away with doing the wrong thing more frequently than you have.
