People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.
Never talking to strangers. Saying nasty things about the neighbors.
Use fear as an engine, not as a brake.
If there is suffering, then it's best to accept it, because it won't go away just because you pretend it's not there. If there is joy, then it's best to accept that too, even though you're afraid it might end one day.
If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.
In reality things reveal nothing to us. It is people who, by looking into at things, discover a way of penetrating the Soul of the World.
