“...you savor the things we seek to avoid.”
“You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live”
“There is a way of avoiding which resembles seeking.”
“It was an awkward moment. We were burning down our host's house, a situation which any guest seeks to avoid.”
“If we seek something, that same thing is seeking us.”
“Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.”
