“The world sucks. Family sucks. And being expected to be eternally indebted to the people who bumped uglies and squirted you out? That sucks. You’re not beholden to anyone. So if you have a family who hates who you are, who ever made you feel like you’re not good enough, or even gives those long speeches on tolerance as if that is a good word to use? Fuck ’em. Don’t make yourself miserable enduring that garbage because TV tells you you’re supposed to see your family. In fact, make them come to you. Make them prove they give a damn about you. Or at the end of the day, if it’s really bad? Be happy with the life you’ve made for yourself and leave all of that shit behind.”

“The world suddenly opened up, and she was coming to new realizations and a greater awareness, concerning the nature of reality, and the world, which her mortal mind had previously been unable to conceive. She smiled her radiant goddess smile and began to laugh. Her omnipresent peals of mirth resonated through the forest, seeming to echo to the edges of the universe and back. She was getting her first glimpses of the world, seen through the eyes of a goddess; the first sweet tastes of a consciousness empowered beyond all human levels of comprehension, and her spirit was in exultant bliss.”

“The world taught women nothing skillful and then said her work was valueless. It permitted her no opinions and said she did not know how to think. It forbade her to speak in public and said the sex had no orators. It denied her the schools, and said the sex had no genius. It robbed her of every vestige of responsibility, and then called her weak. It taught her that every pleasure must come as a favor from men and when, to gain it, she decked herself in paint and fine feathers, as she had been taught to do, it called her vain.”
“The world teaches birth control. Tragically, many of our sisters subscribe to its pills and practices when they could easily provide earthly tabernacles for more of our Father's children.

“The world teaches you to be logical, but logic destroys your love, which is far more valuable because it is through love that you will know God. It is through the heart that there is a possibility to know the beauty of existence.
We have been brought up in a very alculating way. We are being made to be clever and cunning, because that is what succeeds in the world. That is what helps you to achieve ambitions. You are brought up in a way, so that you can go on ego trips, on power trips, but reality is not an ego trip. To be in contact with reality, one has to put aside the ego and all the cunning and calculating ways.
One has to learn to be more in contact with the heart, with the aesthetic sense, and to be more in tune with existence. You have to be more in a love affair with life. You should be more open to the wind, to the sun and to the rain. You should be more full of wonder, than logic and knowledge. Each moment should be a moment of awe, of wonder.
Looking at life with eyes of the heart, the whole world becomes full for God. If your heart is hard, cunning and calculative,
God disappears from the world. God dies. Then you live in a godless world. Living in a godless world is not worth living at all. Life loses all beauty and become absolutely mundane. Padma, my beloved friend for many lives, said once: "What would be the reason to live if there would be no spirituality?"
The meditator have to live a life of grace, a beautiful life, a life of love, silence, joy, truth, freedom and creativity. Then you will become open to God.”

The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.”

“The world that our children will inherit is going to look substantially different, very quickly, than the world we have today. It's alarming.”
“The world that seemed so various and new, well, it does contract. One's burning desire to investigate human behavior, and to make, or imply, statements about it, does fall off. And so one does find that early works are full of energy and also full of vulgarity, crudity, and incompetence, and later works are more carefully finished, and in that sense better literary products. But . . . there's often a freshness that is missing in later works--for every gain there's a loss. I think it evens out in that way.”

“The world that spun from the web of her imagination was manifestly more real to [Patricia Highsmith] than what she saw before her.
