“We can't all guard the life we love—or there soon would be no life left to love but being a guard.”

“As soon as a manhas his guard up. he will not fall in love or get attached the only way he'll get attached is if you lower his guard first.”

“A sense of being part of the great all-inclusive life prompts us to reflect on our own place and on how we ought to live. Guarding others' lives, the ecology and the earth is the same as protecting one's own life. By like token, wounding them is the same thing as wounding oneself. Consequently, it is the duty of each of us to participate as members of the life community in the evolution of the universe. We can do this by guarding earth's ecological system.”

“I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls”

“We are all bodies of water, guarding the mystery of our depths, but some of us have more to guard than others.”

“The primary nature of every human being is to be open to life and love. Being guarded, armoured, distrustful and enclosed is second nature in our culture. It is the means we adopt to protect ourselves against being hurt, but when such attitudes become characterological or structured in the personality, they constitute a more severe hurt and create a greater crippling than the one originally suffered.”
