Through meditation we come to know that we are dying & being reborn in every moment.

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.

With the practice of meditation we can develop this ability to more fully love ourselves and to more consistently love others.

In order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away.

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.

Effort is the unconstrained willingness to persevere through difficulty.

Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.

Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity.

Every single moment is expressive of the truth of our lives when we know how to look.

Meditation is a cyclical process that defies analysis, but demands acceptance.

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

O Diabo, invejoso, fez o homem confundir fé com religião e amor com casamento.

If it hadn't been what it was, it would've been beautiful.

I used to worry when I was a teenager, even into my twenties, after I'd heard something about schizophrenia and how people just suddenly become schizophrenic that I was insane.

I just don't want to copy the current trends or do movies for teenagers. I want people to get more out of movies.

Man's will and God's grace rise and fall together

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

The traditional rules for having children are long gone. Some days I feel like the harder choice is to not have a kid.

Sincerity is a great but rare virtue, and we pardon to it much complaining, and the betrayal of many weaknesses.

Find joy and peace in this very moment.

God hath varied the inclinations of men according to the variety of actions to be performed.
