QUOTES:
'You want your emotions - you need them, you're not trying to repress them - repressing emotions will lead to other problems. What you want is just that tiny little bit of distance, that ability when you're feeling it, to go back and go, 'Hmm, why am I really feeling this? What are the roots of it?'' [04:14]
'I could give you the best techniques in the world, but it won't matter at all if you don't feel that need for it, that hunger for the ability to have a slight degree of control of your own actions.' [05:40]
'If you're so attuned to what other people are saying and doing and telling you and thinking, that voice gets drowned out by a million other voices, and you're not able to hear yourself anymore.' [12:48]
'The ability to accept death and look it square in the eye, and accept this as your reality, that you're not going to live forever, is very liberating.' [22:48]
'The time you're wasting getting enraged, and being manipulated, and feeling all these things and getting into that lizard part of you is time you're wasting, and your life is a lot shorter than you think it is.' [27:49]
