“There is nothing more delicate than love in existence. Love is the most precious thing. Love is the opening of the heart. Love is the flowering of the heart. And the moment that the heart opens like a flower the whole existence becomes available to it. Then it can sway and dance with the wind, with the rain and with the sun. Suddenly all barriers disappear, and as you open up barriers evaporate. Opening up to existence like a flower means coming out of imprisonment. Otherwise we are living in a way closed to everything. The whole life of a closed person is fear-oriented. He is afraid to open to life. He is afraid to be open and vulnerable, because you may be hurt, cheated and deceived. It may be better to keep the windows and doors of the heart closed. But a closed life is bound to be miserable. Just as the closed life is fear-oriented, the open life is love-oriented. It means to trust existence. And through trusting existence, you can allow yourself to live and dance.”

“Fear—that was what they wanted, so she gave them the opposite. Instead of frightened servants and panicked stable boys—they found themselves facing her. Here was a woman at ease as if their spears, shields, and glares didn’t exist. When people didn’t see what they expected to see, it made them question things. If she wasn’t afraid, perhaps it was because she had no reason to be afraid.”

“What exists today is not a community, but merely a herd. People gather because they are afraid of each other, and each seeks refuge among their own kind. A herd of bosses, a herd of workers, a herd of intellectuals. And why are they afraid? They are only afraid when they are not at peace with themselves”

“overcome for a moment by a bracing fear. It was her old fear, the one a therapist had once told her she’d been ingrained to feel as a child, the sense that everything good was bound to fail—because, deep down, she did not believe she was entitled to a world that seemed welcoming, warm. Now she did the thing the therapist had told her to do—she pushed past the feeling.”
