“Getting older changes everything. I guess change is a lot like the ocean-you can't stop it or control it, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the ride.”

“The knowledge of God is a consciousness of ignorance. It does not yield a clearly defined sense of self with which we can rest content, and say I am such and such a person. After every partial act of self-definition, attention to God reminds us of what remains unsaid. For this reason the work of religion is never done. The task of self-knowledge is never complete, just because what we call self-knowledge is in reality self-definition. While we live the self has continually to be defined anew.”

“Our little movement, we were always too fragile, always too dependent on the whims of our supporters. But it had always been a struggle, and after Morningdale, after the climate changed, we had no chance. The world didn't want to be reminded how the donation programme really worked. They didn't want to think about you students, or about the conditions you were brought up in. In other words, my dears, they wanted you back in the shadows.”

“The Buddha said, "If at some point in your life you adopt an idea or a perception as the absolute truth, you close the door of your mind. This is the end of seeking the truth. And not only do you no longer seek the truth, but even if the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you refuse to open it. Attachment to views, attachment to ideas, attachment to perceptions are the biggest obstacle to the truth." It's like when you climb a ladder. When you get to the fourth rung, you may think you are on the highest step and cannot go higher, so you hold on to the fourth rung. But in fact there is a fifth rung; if you want to get to it, you have to be willing to abandon the fourth rung. Ideas and perceptions should be abandoned all the time, to make room for better ideas and truer perceptions. This is why we must always ask ourselves, "Am I sure?”
