"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."

"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it."

"I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth."

"Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love."

"When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it."

"An essential part of true listening is the discipline of bracketing, the temporary giving up or setting aside of one's own prejudices, frames of reference and desires so as to experience as far as possible the speaker's world from the inside, step in inside his or her shoes. This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again."

"Ultimately love is everything."
