All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

Fear of the future and longing for the past are major factors which impede appropriate action.

Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

Whatever we can't love or accept in another, is a mirror of something we can't love or accept in ourselves.

Relying on another is an expression of attachment, not love, a manifestation of insecurity and suffering, not understanding the true nature of our lives.

When we are willing to accept our experience, just as it is, a strange thing happens: it changes into something else. When we avoid pain, struggle not to feel it, pain turns into suffering.

The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you.

What seems good turns bad, what seems bad turns good. It is an endless cycle.

Change is the very basis of our life, not to be fought, to be welcomed and tasted, to be seen for the gift it truly is.

In a relationship if you are giving and getting nothing back in return, stop giving so much, and spend time being. Give to yourself, be who you are.

The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

At my glummest, I sometimes think women get to chose- between being punished for being unsubjugated and the continual punishment of subjugation.

Pleasures take to themselves wings and fly away true knowledge remains forever.

I like fishing, I like painting; I like painting fish.

The science only perpetuates the vicious cycle of cronyism, power-mongering, influence peddling, corruption, bureaucracy, all of that.

I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me.

I have long come to believe that, more than any other destruction, our word-recklessness is endangering the future of us all.

Sometimes you just have to get a shock to grow up and wake up, and I've had lots of shocks because it's as though I don't learn the lessons, so something new comes and hits me.

There's nothing worse than being an aging young person.

In my work, I'm passionate about trying different things and being okay if I mess up. Now I'm trying to bring that into my own life.

It's just seems life without music would be death.
