“All human beings search for either reasons to be good, or excuses to be bad.”

“Bad things happen to everyone. Not that this was an excuse or a justification for wronging another human being. Still, all humans had this shared experience — that of suffering. No human being left this world without shedding a tear, or feeling pain, or wading into the sea of sorrow.”

“It is painfully easy to define human beings. They are beings who, for no good reason at all, create their own unnecessary suffering.”

“The good news is that we are Buddha. The bad news is that all beings are Buddha.The sickness of being human is the sickness of wanting to be unique.”

“Human reason can excuse any evil.”

“Either things happen for a reason, or they happen for no reason at all. Either one's life is a thread in a glorious tapestry or humanity is just a hopelessly tangled knot.”
