“Unorthodox souls receive unorthodox rewards.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human

“Of course, we all deserve compassion for ourselves, forgiveness for the fact that we are born into a world with many rough edges, and kindness towards the calluses and scars that we've formed as a result. Kindness, but not laziness or irresponsibility; not blaming those who have hurt us for our state, whatever that state may be, and valuing ourselves enough to not tolerate toxic behaviours.”
― Ankhara, Ayahuasca: Mother of Rebirth

“The internal transition that leads us to the type of universal trust where we are happy and content regardless of external factors doesn't ever come from external pursuits; the rat race is a treadmill. Deep and lasting peace comes from a deep experience of being at one with all. By that, I mean a knowing that you are fundamentally a part of nature, a pixel in the art of the universe.”
― Ankhara, Ayahuasca: Mother of Rebirth

“This is a paradoxical unity: complacency leads to a slow and boring death and a life left unlived, while desperation can lead eventually to an unbreakable peace. This is because of the difference between the two kinds of peace: peace from being comfortably numb, and peace from acceptance, trust, and self knowledge.”
― Ankhara, Ayahuasca: Mother of Rebirth
