Neale Donald Walsch
"In regards to maan (to seek importance from others), a man will become impudent if he keeps getting insulted up to a point. If he gets maan (importance from others) to a certain level, he grows stronger. And if he gets too much maan [praise], then his desire for it will come to end."
Dada Bhagwan
"In my head, the sky is blue, the grass is green and cats are orange."
