“Interpreters package and then sell, rent, or impose upon us artificially flavored illusions of truth, salvation, enlightenment, and happiness that are built upon their goals. That twisted information and those errant goals and are often very different from those of the original teachers that these interpreters are borrowing moral authority from. Following our own inner guidance would yield better results than following the village idiot. Neither Buddha nor Jesus was waiting for a Buddha or a Jesus to come solve their personal problems or those of humanity. The key to whatever we need is within us. The job of uncovering it is ours to do.”

“Danger came in different packages, at different points in a lifetime.”

“There are more nasty things in pretty packages in the world than most people would believe.”

“Maybe that's what the night is for, just so's we can know the difference when the light comes again.”
