"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."
"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."
"Where lowland is, that's where water goes. All medicine wants is pain to cure."
"Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death."
"Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you."
