What we think is less than what we know; What we know is less than what we love; What we love is so much less than what there is. And to that precise extent we are so much less than what we are.

Pain in this life is not avoidable, but the pain we create avoiding pain is avoidable.

No one acts or experiences in a vacuum.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

What we call "normal" is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection, and other forms of destructive actions on experience...It is radically estranged from the structure of being.

Psychological breakdowns are actually breakthroughs to enlightenment.

There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.
