“I think the reason why I don't read so much, is because as I have observed, whole books all boil down to a drop of essence. You can read a book full of ten thousand words and at the end, sum it up in one sentence; I am more for the one sentence. I am more for the essence. It's like how you need a truckload of roses to extract one drop of rose oil; I don't want to bother with the truckload of roses because I would rather walk away with the drop of rose oil. So in my mind, I have written two hundred books. Why? Because I have with me two hundred vials with one drop of essence in each!”

“Somos finos como papel.Existimos por acaso entre as percentagens, temporariamente. E esta é a melhor e a pior parte, o fator temporal. E não há nada que se possa fazer sobre isso. Você pode sentar no topo de uma montanha e meditar por décadas e nada vai mudar. Você pode mudar a si mesmo para ser aceitável, mas talvez isso também esteja errado. Talvez pensemos demais. Sinta mais, pense menos.”

“Antes de pegar um cadeira aquela noite, ele se agarrou à jiboia contorcida de um tronco de sua jabuticabeira favorita, fincou os pés descalços no chão de terra [...] e ali rezou, pedindo a Deus, como através de um sistema de comunicação da Natureza, para que o livrasse do medo, do pânico, da angústia, dos pensamentos ruins, para que protegesse a ele, à sua família, a seu querido noivo e à sua respectiva família, e para que voltasse a sentir a vida fora da cadeia de seus pensamentos, que sentisse o todo, que se sentisse parte.”

“Pure science is divinely inspired. It is a godsend, a blessing from spirit, a sacred mandate, an act of divine providence. It is a heavenly gift to the people. It does not belong to the corrupt merchants, money lenders and Pharisees, who have turned the temple of science into a den of thieves.”
