“Wisdom may be rented...on the experience of other people, but we buy it at an inordinate price before we make it our own forever.”

“Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own.”

“We are the Children of Stardust. The Seekers of Truth and ever growing Wisdom of Nature. Our beliefs may change, our form may alter, and even our World may crumble,but our Essence will live in this Universe forever!”

“What twisted people we are. How simple we seem, or at least pretend to be in front of others, and how twisted we are deep down. How paltry we are and how spectacularly we contort ourselves before our own eyes, and the eyes of others...And all for what? To hide what? To make people believe what?”

“Within the first twenty years of our lives, before we are really adult, we make choices motivated by insecurity, fear, and other people's expectations; certinly not guided by clarity and wisdom. We plod along for years living with the wrong career or spousal choice, in a location we did not choose and perhaps do not like, and much more. One day we wake up restless and confused, and acknowledge that we have no agenda of our own, and that we have been living someone else's passion, their dream.”

“Adults havethe benefit of experience and know the trick will work as long as the technique is correct.When we “grow up” we gain this experience and knowledge, but we lose our innocence andsense of wonder. In other words, the price we pay for growing up is a permanent sense ofloss.”
