Thich Nhat Hanh
“You do not need to waste your time doing those things that are unnecessary and trifling. You do not have to be rich. You do not need to seek fame or power. What you need is freedom, solidity, peace and joy. You need the time and energy to be able to share these things with others.”
Thích Nhất Hạnh, No Death, No Fear: Comforting Wisdom for Life

Irvin D. Yalom
“To fully relate to another, one must first relate to oneself. If we cannot embrace our own aloneness, we will simply use the other as a shield against isolation.”
Irvin D. Yalom

Irvin D. Yalom
“Whether I will live a long time or a short time, I’m alive now, at this moment. What I want is to know that there are other things to hope for besides length of life. What I want to know is that it isn’t necessary to turn away from thoughts of suffering or death but neither is it necessary to give these thoughts too much time and space. What I want is to be intimate with the knowledge that life is temporary. And then, in the light (or shadow) of that knowledge, to know how to live. How to live now.”
Irvin D. Yalom, Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy

Irvin D. Yalom
“One of the great paradoxes of life is that self-awareness breeds anxiety.”
Irvin D. Yalom, Love's Executioner

Irvin D. Yalom
“eternal recurrence means that every time you choose an action you must be willing to choose it for all eternity. And it is the same for every action not made, every stillborn thought, every choice avoided. And all unlived life will remain bulging inside you, unlived through all eternity. And the unheeded voice of your conscience will cry out to you forever.”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession
