“How deeply bound by cords of family anger we all are[...]None of us breaks free.”

“Until we are all free, we are none of us free. ”

“Just by breathing deeply on your anger, you will calm it. You are being mindful of your anger, not suppressing it...touching it with the energy of mindfulness. You are not denying it at all. When I speak about this to psychotherapists, I have some difficulty. When I say that anger makes us suffer, they take it to mean that anger is something negative to be removed. But I always say that anger is an organic thing, like love. Anger can become love. Our compost can become a rose. If we know how to take care of our compost...Anger is the same. It can be negative when we do not know how to handle it, but if we know how to handle our anger, it can be very positive. We do not need to throw anything away," (50).”

“What compels any of us to do the things we do when deep down a part of us just wants to break free from it all?”

“None of us could choose our birth, but we could still chose our family, and only those who love you are your true family.”

“We are bound by the law, so that we may be free.”
