“If you have to separate yourself from things, or someone else, do it without a big attitude.”

“Listen, do yourself a favor. If you ask someone about something such as, “How are the kids,” make sure you really want to know.”

“How do you not let things bother you? By placing yourself out of the physical and emotional range of that which is bothering you.”

“You never know what the way will bring. Sometimes we have to lose the connection to someone in order to regain the connection to someone. That makes things more interesting anyway, since each someone will not be the same, and the connection will also not be the same. Actually, we can do this with all aspects of our life.”

“Do whatever you have to do that’s right in front you. Let everything else go. That’s concentration.”

“Allow yourself, if only for a short moment, to go to that place where you cannot possibly think of one thing that you need to do. Go there and see what happens.”

“Some people think they have to marry someone just like themselves. Well, if you want to do that, it's ok. It might be more interesting though if you marry someone who is not just like you. Hmmmmmmm.”
