Don't criticize what you can't understand.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.

I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than that.

The greatest of wealth is the richness of the soul.
