“One of the most disturbing experiences I've had in my life has been to realize, again and again over the years, how impossible it is to speak to the heart, to the deep conscience of individuals who have exchanged their genuine personality for a group or ideological stereotype. [...] In the beginning, it's not really an exchange. The stereotype is adopted as a covering, a sign of identity, a password that facilitates the subject's integration into a social group and, by freeing them from their isolation, makes them feel even more human. Then the progressive identification with the group's values and objectives replaces direct perceptions and initial feelings with a schematic imitation of the group's behavior and mental traits, until concrete individuality, with all its irreducible mystery, disappears under the mask of collective identity. [...] The desensitization of the deep conscience corresponds, by contrast, to a hypersensitization of the surface, a fake susceptibility, a predisposition to feel offended or threatened by any little thing that opposes the will of the group.”

“Sometimes, trying to explain yourself is like trying to teach quantum physics to a goldfish – it's just not going to sink in! So why waste your breath? Let your actions speak louder than words, and if people still don't get it, well, that's their loss, not yours. Keep being your fabulous self and let the world wonder in awe at your enigmatic charm. After all, who needs validation when you've got sass and style in abundance?”

“Photos, mirrors, & scales—three notorious tricksters in the world of perception. They have a knack for distorting reality and making us question our worth. But here's the truth: beauty isn't defined by pixels, reflections, or numbers. It's an essence that radiates from within. So, next time you catch yourself falling victim to their deceitful charms, remember: you're a masterpiece, flaws and all. Embrace your uniqueness & imperfections, because they're what make you beautifully, you.”

“The watchword of all well-being, of all moral good is not "I" but "thou". Who cares whether there is a heaven or a hell, who cares if there is a soul or not, who cares if there is an unchangeable or not? Here is the world, and it is full of misery. Go out into it [...] and struggle to lessen it or die in the attempt. Forget yourselves; this is the first lesson to be learnt, whether you are a theist or an atheist, whether you are an agnostic or a Vedantist, a Christian or a Mohammedan. The one lesson obvious to all is the destruction of the little self and the building up of the Real Self.”
