"Power over others is weakness disguised as..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“A person dies, or something you had identified with completely is gone. Your home goes up in flames. There is extreme pain at first. But whenever a form dissolves, which is called "death," what remains is an opening into emptiness.”

“By learning to accept the small things immediately as they happen, you can be free of having to react to things at all. You still can respond when action is needed, but you can be free, internally, of events.”

“Before I wrote The Power of Now, I had a vision that I had already written the book and that it was affecting the world. I had a sense there was already a book somehow in existence. I drew a circle on a piece of paper and it said "book." Then I wrote something about the effect the book had on the world, how it influenced my life and other people's lives, and how it came to be translated into many languages affecting hundreds of thousands of people.”

“Government, like any other organism, refuses to acquiesce in its own extinction. This refusal, of course, involves the resistance to any effort to diminish its powers and prerogatives.”

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force...Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

“That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.”

“The wavering mind is but a base possession.”

“Holding on to the weak is called strength.”

“I use hate as a weapon to defend myself; had I been strong, I would never have needed that kind of weapon.”
