“There's kind of wisdom that must be firstly rejected before accepted.”
“WE ONLY ACCEPT A TRUTH AFTER WE HAVE FIRST WHOLEHEARTEDLY REJECTED IT”
“A part of a healthy conscience is being able to confront consciencelessness. When you teach your daughter, explicitly or by passive rejection, that she must ignore her outrage, that she must be kind and accepting to the point of not defending herself or other people, that she must not rock the boat for any reason, you are NOT strengthening her prosocial sense, you are damaging it--and the first person she will stop protecting is herself.”
“We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha's own words must be rejected.”
“You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.”
“It is not that accepting and rejecting are great actions within themselves. But the right to accept or reject, now that is everything.”
