"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward.

"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence."
"There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self."
"Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left."
