What makes me say these things is that I see how much you care about the way people look at you. It matters too much to you. And there are people who take advantage of that. They haven't got anything of their own and they'll leave you nothing for yourself. They want to put themselves in your thoughts and in your mind, and that you should care for them. It's a sickness. But they don't want you to care for them as they really are. No, that's the whole stunt. You have to be conscious of them, but not as they are, only as they love to be seen.

We only call it love to preserve our dignity. — Jihad Eltabey

Such a marvelous creature deserved someone who understood her talents- someone like him, perhaps. — Amy E. Reichert

No matter how good your eyesight, if you don't open your eyes, you will not see anything. So too with the Tao. Everyone has eyes to see the Tao, but opening those eyes is a separate issue. The Tao is there, in that place beyond the limits of rational logic, judgment, ideas, and ego. To see the Tao, we must take away the blindfold of judgment, ideas, and ego that blinds our eyes. — Ilchi Lee

Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other by their skins, their language, their smell; always jealous of each other, always hating each other; they're not the ones who fight.
