A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

Some things are best mended by a break.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

The truth is the light and light is the truth.
