Mental pain is usually caused, not by our being pushed by life to where we do not want—or away from where we want—to be, but by the friction caused by our resistance to the push.

We cannot really experience something while we are thinking, not even the act of thinking.

Life usually puts a great idea only inside a mind that is usually at peace.

Meditation can make an hour feel slightly longer … than a sneeze.

You cannot be unhappy, or even depressed, while you are not thinking.

Mindlessness often leads to headlessness.
