“Today over breakfast we talked about the extraordinary capacity of human beings to bear and become accustomed to things. The fantastic hideousness of our existence: fear of every ring at the door, of ill-treatment, insults, fear for one’s life, of hunger (real hunger), ever new bans, ever more cruel enslavement, deadly danger coming closer every day, every day new victims all around us, absolute helplessness — and yet still hours of pleasure, while reading aloud, while working, while eating our less than meagre food, and so we go on eking out a bare existence and go on hoping. [Dresden, 30 May 1942]”

“I am feeling grateful for all the wonderful things I have had an opportunity to learn and also unlearn in this lifetime. Such precious, profound and practical things that I feel that my life has been beautifully guided. It's not a curriculum I could have planned for myself. It is like there is a greater intelligence at play, a broader intention fulfilling itself. The more grateful I am for the intimate guidance of this intelligence in my life, the more supported I feel. It's a virtuous spiral of love, gratitude, inspiration and support which is already perfect and keeps getting better. How wonderful!”

“Keep moving, no need to ever look back- walk. Feel the earth under your feet with the feelings that once felt like defeat, leaving meaning in the imprints of your Souls. Walk, with the Universe on your back. Walk, journey, trust and receive. All while walking into infinity with me. There is nowhere to be. You are here with me. Feel my embrace and feel the echoes of eternities grace. Walk with me for there is no place to be except here with me.”

“Despite the prominence that "magic bullets" and "wonder drugs" hold in the layman's mind, most of the really decisive battles in the war against infectious disease consisted of measures to eliminate disease organisms from the environment. An example from history concerns the great outbreak of cholera in London more than one hundred years ago. A London physician, John Snow, mapped occurrence of cases and found they originated in one area, all of whose inhabitants drew their water from one pump located on Broad Street. In a swift and decisive practice of preventative medicine, Dr. Snow removed the handle from the pump. The epidemic was thereby brought under control - not by a magic pill that killed the (then unknown) organism of cholera, but by eliminating the organism from the environment.”
