"When it is all too much; when the news is so bad meditation itself feels useless, and a single life feels too small a stone to offer on the altar of Peace, find a Human Sunrise.

But they are working to bring peace, light, compassion, to the infinitely frightening downhill slide of Human life."

And yet, in our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins."
"People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't."
"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."
"When I no longer have your heartI will not request your bodyyour presenceor even your polite conversation.I will go away to a far countryseparated from you by the sea- on which I cannot walk -and refrain even from sendinglettersdescribing my pain."
