If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.

There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference.

Truth happens to an idea

We have lost the power even of imagining what the ancient idealization of poverty could have meant: the liberation from material attachments, the unbribed soul, the manlier indifference, the paying our way by what we are and not by what we have, the right to fling away our life at any moment irresponsibly - the more athletic trim, in short, the moral fighting shape.

Choose a self and stand by it.

An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible.
