“The only currency that we really have to spend during our lives is time. Everything else is just a sub-category.”

“It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with "I," "me," "mine," that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours; it is also everybody else's.”

“You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.”

“Each one of us is the center of our own universe. That's the only way it can be. From our point of view, we are stationary and everything else is swirling around us, dropping into our lives just for our reaction.”

“We spend half of our lives preparing to live-instead of just living.”

“A birth is not really a beginning. Our lives at the start are not really our own but only the continuation of someone else's story.”
