“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”

“Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you how to stop suffering. That is its purpose.”

“Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now.Let it teach you Being.Let it teach you integrity — which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real.Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying into a problem.”

“Perhaps watching someone you love suffer can teach you even more than suffering yourself can.”

“What's the point anyway — Of suffering, dying? It teaches us to live, boy. A man who does not struggle does not live, he survives.”

“All stories teach, whether the storyteller intends them to or not. They teach the world we create. They teach the morality we live by. They teach it much more effectively than moral precepts and instructions.”
