The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

Trigger warnings and safe spaces are an infantilizing setback for feminism - and for women.

When a Lover is a Beggar Abject is his Knee. When a Lover is an Owner Different is he.

If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they "artialize" nature.

You should show encouragement whenever you can. People try harder when they know that someone cares about them.

The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
