"It's vital to be growing through your life rather than going through your life. The object is not to change other people or situations; it's to do the inner work they stimulate."

“You must not fight. Do no harm to anyone. Do right always.”
“Occasionally they came to villages, and at each village they encountered a roadblock of fallen trees. Having had centuries of experience with the smallpox virus, the village elders had instituted their own methods for controlling the virus, according to their received wisdom, which was to cut their villages off from the world, to protect their people from a raging plague. It was reverse quarantine, an ancient practice in Africa, where a village bars itself from strangers during a time of disease, and drives away outsiders who appear. (94)”
“My parents were missionaries - I was born in the States but I grew up in Brazil.”

But it's a risk you have to take-because only then will you find you're not alone.”
“Behold the pre-prophetic symbols of the planes of Never. Behold, behold this thisness! This isness.”

“Ann Coulter is, at this point, a known quantity (especially after the raghead remarks last year), and she delivered what they knew she would deliver. Where were the complaints in advance of her appearance? There were none that I am aware of, and this is just damage control.

Ann Coulter is not the problem - she is a symptom of the problem.”
