one of my favorite things in this world is how we pick up little habits and phrases from the people we love. you collect so many pieces of people as you go about this life. you are a mosaic of everyone you've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are
—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.

One of life’s counterintuitive lessons is that you will often gain energy by spending a little bit of energy.
When you feel lethargic and like you want to lay around all day, it is usually the case that getting up and moving will make you feel better than simply sitting around. Getting outside for 10 minutes or doing the first set of a workout or simply stretching on the floor for a moment — anything to get your body moving — will often leave you feeling more energized.
If you want to get your day going, then get your body going. It’s harder for the mind to be sluggish when the body is moving.”

There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it
against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. And when the lambs whisper among themselves,
“These birds ofprey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a
bird of prey must be good?” there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument—though the
birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, “We have nothing against these good lambs; in
fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.

A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth. Authoritarian institutions and marketers have always known this fact.

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.

A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them
