There is a greater potential in what we don't yet know about this life of ours than there is in what we've already seen about it.

Freedom is what remains when we see -- with new eyes -- that we have never been anything else...

Can you count the number of times you have been present in a moment of your life and realized how much you wished you weren't you? That you hadn't done what you just did, and wished you would never do it again... loathing yourself for your weakness, despising yourself for your ambition that compromises you with every step you take, feeling frightened over some possession you've managed to acquire in the hope of some freedom it promised...
