“Until your personality has exhausted its obsession with running the show, your soul isn’t given the space to express itself. Your personality can be threatened by your soul, because your personality has controlled your life for a long time and doesn’t want to give up control. Your personality is like a wild horse that tries to throw off the rider trying to tame it. The rider is your soul.”

“Until, modern times when it became mostly a civic task, education was considered a sacred work. It was sacred because it involved the indwelling spirit in the student and because it required an awakened spirit in the teachers. Spirit to spirit, genius to genius, soul to soul go the true lessons that help young people become themselves. Ultimately, each person holds the key to the story trying to be lived from within, but first someone else must help unlock the mystery of one’s life.”

“Until-as often happened during those first months travel, whenever I would feel such happiness-my guilt alarm went off. I heard my ex-husband's voice speaking disdainfully in my ear: So this is what you gave up everything for? This is why you gutted our entire life together? For a few stalks of asparagus and an Italian newspaper? I replied aloud to him: "First of all," I said, "I'm very sorry, but this isn't your business anymore.

“Untold stars wander through the unending depth of the cosmos. Radiant thoughts of God. They are all happy, for God wants the universe to be happy. Only there is one among them that does not share this fate. Did God forget this star? Or did he grant it the highest glory by giving it the freedom of struggling up by its own strength? We do not know. We are a tiny fraction of the history of this tiny star.”

“Untrained minds have always been a nuisance to the military police of orthodoxy. God-intoxicated mystics and untidy saints with only a white blaze of divine love where their minds should have been, are perpetually creating almost as much disorder within the law as outside it.”

“Untuk alasan yang amat berbeda, pribadi yang pemalu dan introver mungkin memilih untuk menghabiskan hari mereka dengan bekerja di belakang layar seperti mencipta atau meneliti, atau menggenggam tangan orang lain yang sedang sakit berat — atau dalam posisi pemimpin yang mereka laksanakan dengan kompetensi yang tenang. Ini bukanlah peran-peran alfa, tetapi manusia yang memainkannya tetaplah tokoh-tokoh panutan.”

“Untuk memastikan bahwa diri tidak mungkret, mengerut, untuk menjamin bahwa diri tetap bertahan pada volumenya, ingatan harus disiram seperti pohon bunga dalam pot, dan untuk menyiram itu dibutuhkan kontak tetap dan teratur dengan para saksi masa silam, artinya, dengan teman dan sahabat. Teman dan sahabat adalah cermin kita; memori kita; kita tidak minta apa-apa pada mereka kecuali bahwa mereka mengelap-lap cermin itu dari waktu ke waktu supaya kita bisa melihat diri kita sendiri di situ.”

“Untuk menjadi bahagia kita tidak butuh merebutnya dari orang lain. Kita tidak perlu berebut kebahagiaan karena ia bukanlah kompetisi yang jika seseorang sudah dapat, maka orang lain akan kehilangan. Jika mereka menang maka kamu kalah. Tidak seperti itu. Bahagia bukan tentang mengambil semuanya dan tidak menyisakan untuk orang lain. Kita bisa menempuh cara masing-masing untuk bahagia.”
