“Slavery and mastery are ugly things. But if the slave or master looks, behaves and talks in formal manner, slavery and mastery not only become acceptable but also respectable. After fire, formality is the next best discovery of mankind. Fire makes everything eatable, formality makes everything acceptable and respectable.”

“June is gone. For the first time, the enormity of that hits me. Every muscle aches, my heart most of all. I am throbbing with how much I miss her. It hurts worse than anything. I don't know how I'm supposed to be expected to live day to day carrying this kind of pain. I don't know how I'm supposed to go out there, spread her ashes, and let her go. I want to stop running away from everything. I want to find something to run toward.”

“We consume two type of information: One that makes us grow; Other that gives us an emotional release. The second type of information is being bombarded too much these days. Politicians, activists, entertainers, businesses, spiritual teachers, admins of online groups -- All are exploiting human emotions. People are turning into diary cows that can be milked anytime by giving an injection.”
