“That, ladies and gentleman, is faith! An openness to the truth, no matter the consequences, no matter where it leads you and when you don’t even know where it’s going to lead you. That’s faith. Not belief, but faith.”

“Agreement and disagreement have to do with words and concepts and theories. They don’t have anything to do with truth. Truth is never expressed in words. Truth is sighted suddenly, as a result of a certain attitude…an attitude of openness, of willingness to discover something new. I cannot describe the truth. No one can. All I can do is give you a description of your falsehoods so you can drop them.”

“Anytime you renounce something, you are tied forever to the thing you renounce. – As long as you are fighting it, you are giving it power. – When you renounce something you are tied to it. The only way to get out of this is to see through it. Don’t renounce it, see through it.”
