Quotes by Michael Tierra  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“No matter how pure the quality of our "food," if it emanates from a fanatical, one-sided mental viewpoint, it will reflect the limitations of a thought process that perpetuates the underlying sickness of our emotional and spiritual being. An individual who is unable to achieve a balance of physical exercise, creative expression, and introspective soulful enjoyment will find it difficult to achieve a healing balance with food alone. [...] Fanatical adherence to anything, especially regarding diet, can become its own disease.”
Michael Tierra, The Way of Chinese Herbs
