You're always learning. The problem is, sometimes you stop and think you understand the world. This is not correct. The world is always moving. You never reach the point you can stop making an effort.

We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.

That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.

A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing — a flower in the process of expressing its potential.

Be proud of your scars. They remind you that you have the will to live.

In the long run what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies.

Love creates bridges where it would seem they were impossible.
