All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

Compassion is even more powerful than courage. Sure, with courage you can conquer a world - but only with compassion can you heal and build it.

Sometimes in life there's no problem and sometimes in there is no solution. In this space - between these apparent poles - life flows.

In our evolution language has been the greatest single contribution to our understanding and misunderstanding

We're merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze.

Our life stories are at one and the same time reality, fallacy and fantasy.
