"The moment you realize you are not..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“Many adults play roles when they speak to young children. They use silly words and sounds. They talk down to the child. They don't treat the child as an equal. The fact that you temporarily know more, or you're bigger does not mean the child is not your equal.”

“When you always want the next thing, every human being becomes a means to an end.”

“We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds.”

“The thinking mind can be so noisy that it cannot relate to stillness. It doesn't even recognize it and certainly can't remember it.”

“If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.”

“Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.”

“I'm who I was waiting for. I didn't make it.”

“We owed so much to Herbert's ever cheerful industry and readiness, that I often wondered how I had conceived that old idea of his inaptitude, until I was one day enlightened by the reflection, that perhaps the inaptitude had never been in him at all, but had been in me.”

“What we want is progress, development, realisation.”
