“I am always amazed that so many people are concerned with wanting to be what they are not;What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous?You don't always have to pretend to be strong,there is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well,you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking.Cry if you need to,it's good to cry out all your tears,because only then you will be able to smile again...”

“Because it has lived its life intenselythe parched grass still attracts the gaze of passers-by.The flowers merely flower,and they do this as well as they can.The white lily, blooming unseen in the valley,Does not need to explain itself to anyone;It lives merely for beauty.Man, however, cannot accept that 'merely'.If tomatoes wanted to be melons,they would look completely ridiculous.I am always amazedthat so many people are concernedwith wanting to be what they are not;what's the point of making yourself look ridicuolous?You don't always have to pretend to be strong,there's no need to prove all the time that everything is going well,you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking,cry if you need to,it's good to cry out all your tears(because only then will you be able to smile again).”

“Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?" the boy said"Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to haveheard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you'rethinking about life and about the world.”

“Insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understand the language they speak there. We've all felt that. And all of us, one way or another, are insane.”

“This time I m not going to tell you a story. I'll just say that insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understand the language they speak there.”

“Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it — which happens, I think, quite often at this stage of evolution — do as I suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it. Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything. Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything, it's merely a question of believing.”

“You still haven't managed to heal the scars left by some of the injustices committed against you in your life and it doesn't do you any good. All it does is feed a constant desire to feel sorry for yourself, because you were the victim of people stronger than you. Or else it makes you go to the other extreme and disguise yourself as an avenger ready to strike out at the people who hurt you. Isn't that a waste of time?...It is human, but it's not intelligent or reasonable.”
