Oh, no, I can't I'm just fed up with that. Let's do something else."And you always think "Oh my God I've never done anything at all like that before."

In their cultures, where Buddhism is kind of taken for granted, as well as karma, causality, former and future life, and the possibility for becoming enlightened, then it's safe to skirt the danger of nihilism, which would be, I don't exist because Buddha said I have no self, and therefore I have no problem because I don't exist.

Then I tried to not drink, but that didn't work. So I figured I should just go to rehab.
Lara StoneSomebody said recently that the best thing a student could do was to get in some shows and publish a book; but nothing about becoming a human being, nothing about having important feelings or concepts of humanity.

There was a big change.It used to be people used the Internet primarily at work, because that's where they had a good connection. Now they're using it at home.

Esther DysonNo reason to get angry at anybody for slapping you literally or figuratively. It's just nature unfolding perfectly and obviously that slap is part of my process that is shaping me as I become all I'm becoming.

More than anything though, it will affect the way we look at everything in our life, which affects how we respond to things.

Chipper JonesI want to feel both the beauty and the pain of the age we are living in. I want to survive my life without becoming numb.
