“The problem isn’t with the beliefs themselves but with how we use them to get ground under our feet, how we use them to feel right and to make someone else feel wrong, how we use them to avoid feeling the uneasiness of not knowing what’s going on.” -Pema Chodron, The Places That Scare You

“When I see you, the World stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you and my eyes staring at you. There’s nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The World just stops, and it is a beautiful place, and there is only you.”
― James Frey, A Million Little Pieces
