Here's a meli melo of the ones I've got so far, currently reading it, I'm soon leaving India for Bali!
"The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go." -- This one actually made me bawl my eyes out, always thought the mind & the heart were engaged in a constant battle...
"You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be." -- Gosh, I looove Richard from Texas!!
"Let your intention be freedom from useless suffering." -- The plumber/poet from New Zealand is absolutely right. That scene on the rooftop is beyond touching!
"You are, after all, what you think." -- For any other "monkey mind" out there, I think we've all related with that part!!
"ATTRAVERSIAMO" -- Enough said!
"Even in the Eternal City, says the Augusteum, one must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation." -- Ain't our ability, as human beings, to constantly be able to adapt to change one of out finest qualities?!! :D
"Where did you get the idea you aren't allowed to petition the universe with prayer? You are part of the universe, Liz. You are a constituent - you have every entitlement to participate in the actions of the universe, and to let your feelings be known." -- Amazing! Funny and so true!! Especially looved the Mandela & Bono signatures, now I'd want them to sign my petition too!!
"This was my voice, but perfectly wise, calm and compassionate. This was what my voice would sound life if I'd only ever experienced love and certainty in my life... Go back to bed, Liz" -- and the tear ducks once again..
"When I sit in my silence and look at my mind, it is only questions of longing and control that emerge to agitate me, and this agitation is what keeps me from evolving forward." -- Something to seriously mull over...
"I used to have this appetite for my life. And now it's just gone. I want to go someplace where I can MARVEL at something." -- Beautifully said by Julia
"I'm having a relationship with my pizza." -- Wiser words have never been spoken. I'm have a relationship with my pasta, my coffee, my cupcakes, my chocolate, my fine wine, my cheeeese, my bread... ad infinitum!!
"If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind." -- True, absolutely true!
