“Of course I’ll hurt you, of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

“Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.”

“Why do people think being with someone is the answer to everything?”

“Ricordate che non c'è nulla di stabile nelle vicende umane, quindi evitate l'euforia eccessiva nella prosperità e la tristezza inutile nelle avversità.”

“Life is only available in the present moment.”

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

“No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.”

“Wherever you are afraid, try to explore.”

“Fall in love with yourself more and more with each passing day. Have so much respect for yourself that you automatically reject anyone that doesn’t.”

“Don’t worry. Not ever. Why? Because it never solves anything. It does not change the outcome of what is going to happen, nor does it affect what has already occurred. It only puts more stress on your mind.”

“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.”
