"By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired."
"I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free."
"What is love? It is not simply compassion, not simply kindness. In compassion there are two: the one who suffers and the one who feels compassion. In kindness there are two: the one who gives and the one who receives. But in love there is only one; the two join, unite, become inseparable. The I and the you vanish. To love means to lose oneself in the beloved."
"True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own."
"Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality."
