"The quicker you are in attaching verbal..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.”

“What is the relationship between awareness and thinking? Awareness is the space in which thoughts exist when that space has become conscious of itself.”

“A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.”

“If you boat a lot, you're known as a boating enthusiast. I like to boat, but I just don't want to ever be referred to as a 'boating enthusiast'. I hope they call me 'a guy who likes to boat'.”

“I want people to get out of that nasty habit of needing a label. Every genre for each song is different.”

“We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.”

“From a certain point of view our real enemy, the true troublemaker, is inside.”

“I can readily conceive of a man without hands or feet; and I could conceive of him without a head, if experience had not taught me that by this he thinks, Thought then, is the essence of man, and without this we cannot conceive of him.”

“There are hundreds of thousands of microbes surrounding us, but they cannot harm us unless we become weak, until the body is ready and predisposed to receive them. There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened. This is the great fact: strength is life. Weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal. Weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death”
