You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.

It is not enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

Money and success dont change people; they merely amplify what is already there

Iris Murdoch

Looking at beauty in the world, is the first step of purifying the mind.
