The best way to pay for a lovely moment is by enjoying it.
...there is such a thing as perfection...and our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth....Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside. - Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you do. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent a life we've created ourselves? Who's to blame, who's to credit but us? Who can change it, anytime we wish, but us?
Really profound and hard to understand Here is a simple test to find out if your mission on Earth is fulfilled or not. If you're alive, it isn't. - Illusions
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. - Richard Bach 1977
The world's crazy, when it comes to beauty. - The Bridge Across Forever
Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else's list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives. - The Bridge Across Forever
That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning. - The Bridge Across Forever
It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost ... - The Bridge Across Forever
In order to live free and happily, you must first sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren't wealready there? - There's No Such Place as Far Away
Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true - Illusions
Get this in mind early: We never grow up. - Running From Safety
Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price - Running From Safety
Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion - Running From Safety
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim. - Running From Safety
The idea that we are physical beings descended from primeval cells in nutrient soups, that idea does violence to my intuition, stomps all over it with football-shoes. The idea that we are descended from a jealous God who formed us out of dust to choose between kneel-and-praying or fires-of- damnation, that stomps me worse.
