"How can you respect that sort of weakness, how can you admire a human who consciously embraces a bland, the mediocre, and the safe rather than risking the suffering that disappointments can bring?" Pg 96"I don't want salvation, I want life, all of life, the miserable as well as the superb... I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here merely to test us, to tempt us, to make it the more difficult for us to capture the grand prize: the safety of the void. To fashion life of such a petty game is unworthy of both men and gods." Pg 97
"In order to tame death, they refuse to completely enjoy life." Pg 97
"To eliminate the agitation and disappointment of desire, we need but awaken to the fact that we have everything we want and need right now." Pg 105
"By identifying with our desires and taking them too seriously, we not only increase our susceptibility to disappointment, we actually create a climate inhospitable to the free and easy fulfillment of those desires." Pg 107
"Fashions come and go, come and go, but the length of the cheerleader skirt remains constant, and it is upon that abbreviated standard that I base my currency of joy." Pg 54
"A person must be prepared to receive wisdom, or else it will do him more harm than good." Pg 92
