At last, the answer why. The lesson that had been so hard to find, so difficult to learn, came quick and clear and simple. The reason for problems is to overcome them. Why, that’s the very nature of man, I thought, to press past limits, to prove his freedom. It isn’t the challenge that faces us, that determines who we are and what we are becoming, but the way we meet the challenge, whether we toss a match at the wreck or work our way through it, step by step, to freedom.

You can't solve problems for someone whose problem is that they don't want problems solved.

As long as we believe in sequential time, we see becoming instead of being. Beyond time, we are all one.

An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown

You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.

Before you'll change, something important must be at risk.

It must happen to us all…We pack up what we’ve learned so far and leave the familiar behind. No fun, that shearing separation, but somewhere within, we must dimly know that saying goodbye to safety brings the only security we’ll ever know.
