“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make very small use of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger.”
“So much time weeping and wailing and shaking our fists, creating enemies that really don't exist.”
“A quart bottle should hold a quart.”
“'I wish for a better life. I wish for food for my children. I wish that sexual abuse and exploitation in schools would stop.' This is the dream of the African girl.”

“When we resist change, itâ€™s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into itâ€™s dynamic quality, thatâ€™s called enlightenment”
