Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.

The one thing we fear most is the one thing that is not possible: We cannot die, we cannot be destroyed.

What a story that would make! How many men and women go through the same rivers, menaced by the same sharp clichés, the same jagged dangers that have threatened us! If the idea stands up, I thought, it would be worth uncovering the typewriter! How Richard-years-ago would have wanted to know: What happens when we set off searching for a soulmate who doesn't exist, and find her?

Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.

How easy it is to be compassionate when it's yourself you see in trouble.

I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
