“While we are in recovery we need to be able to strike a balance between not allowing our ego to do all the talking and not letting our low self-esteem to only present what is wrong with us.”
― Noah Levine, Refuge Recovery: A Buddhist Path to Recovering from Addiction

“Somebody should have taken him to a stationary store and pointed out the difference between an envelope and a whore.”
― Richard Brautigan, در رؤیای بابل

“Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Sometimes life seems like a poorly designed cage within which man has been sentenced to be free.”
― Sheldon B. Kopp, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him! The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients
