“Man cannot get out of misery unless he realizes that something in him is deathless. Death is the basic cause of all fears. People are afraid of love, because when they go deep into love they suddenly experience themselves to be close to death. Only meditation can help, because only meditation can make you aware that you are deathless. Even if you want to die, you cannot because there is no way to die. You existed before birth and you will remain to exist after death. Birth is only entering a certain body, and death is leaving that certain body - but you are eternal. To experience this eternity, this deathlessness, becomes the foundation for a totally new life. It creates the foundation for a new life style of fearlessness without misery. A person starts living in joy if only one experience becomes possible: deathlessness.”

“The frost in his eyes is cracking and, behind it, the green of the first buds of spring. "When I was young," he says, "I was afraid of everything. Atreus's hounds, Agamemnon's games, mutilated bodies, angry slaves. Wherever I looked, I feared. I learned to overcome those fears. I had to, or I would have died. But something stayed inside me, a feeling of rootlessness, of floating through life trying not to drown." She listens though she doesn't know that sensation. Every step she has taken since she was a child had a direction. And it brought her here. He stares at her. "But now I know that I belong with you." She closes her eyes and savors the feel of his hand against her own. He doesn't know this, but he gave her a chance too, which no one else did. He told her: Look I am as damaged as you, but here I am.”

“If you are a Russian bureaucrat, you are required to obey every order, even if it is illegal, and with each passing year this comes to seem more natural. When the Kirovles case was brought against me, Belykh, who knew perfectly well the charges had been fabricated, kept his mouth firmly shut. That was one of the reasons the case was able to proceed to trial. It is fundamental to Putin's power, however, that the rules can change and at any moment be used against you. Seven years later I turned on the television and was stunned. Nikita was shown being arrested in a Moscow restaurant in the act of accepting a bribe. He got eight years in a strict regime facility and, as I write this, is still in prison.”

“I had written to Ted about the scores of women who had contacted me about their "encounters" with him, although I didn't give specific times or names or places. I commented that he would have had to been superhuman to have been everywhere people "remembered" him. There had been a flurry in the press when campers found a tree in Sanpete County, Utah, with Ted Bundy's name carved in it, and the date: "'78." "I too am familiar with the phenomena of Ted Bundy sightings," he wrote. "Tells you a lot about the reliability of eye-witness identification, doesn't it. Eye-witness id [sic] is the most inherently unreliable evidence used in court. It also tells you a lot about fear.”
