“Suffering is exacerbated by avoidance. The body carries with it any undigested pain. Our attempts at self-protection cause us to live in a small, dark, cramped corner of our lives. We accept a limited perspective of the situation and a restricted view of ourselves. We cling to what is familiar simply in order to reassert control, thinking we can fend off what we fear will be intolerable. When we push back, hoping to get rid of a difficult experience, we are actually encapsulating it. In short, what we resist persists.”

“این را فهمیده‌ام که بیشتر ماهی‌ها، موقع پیری شکایت می‌کنند که زندگیشان را بی‌خودی تلف کرده‌اند. دایم نفرین و ناله می‌کنند که زندگیشان را بی‌خودی تلف کرده‌اند. دایم ناله و نفرین می‌کنند و از همه چیز شکایت دارند. من می‌خواهم بدانم که، راستی راستی، زندگی یعنی اینکه تو یک تکه جا، هی بروی و برگردی تا پیر بشوی و دیگر هیچ، یا اینکه طور دیگری هم توی دنیا می‌شود زندگی کرد؟”
