Wisdom

I strongly disagree that we should not judge other people. Wisdom means good judgement. Those who fail to judge wisely often fall victim to superficial deceits. However, we should: Judge ourselves before judging others; Judge their hearts not their clothes;Judge their actions not their words;Judge the present not the past.

You must create the right kind of dream, the sober, adult kind of magic: illusion born from disillusion.

Facts are never as salient as feelings.

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest.

Give and receive with gratitude. Do the former, without expectation of, the latter.

The digital age believes in the rational ordering of human beings. We believe that information will eventually solve every conceivable problem.
