The fundamental priority in life has to be life itself – not the accumulation of things and people, not social or psychological drama.

Existentially, there is no significance to your opinions of either yourself or others.

Whatever we do for the environment today is not service - it is a matter of survival.

Whatever your goal in life, unless you develop a great urgency, what could be near will be far away.

Compassion is not condescending kindness. It is a passionate engagement with everything around you.
