Carl Jung | Red Book, Liber Novus | You find yourself in your desire… wherever the creative power of desire is, there springs the soil’s own seed. But do not forget to wait. |
Dzogchen Pönlop | You fall in love with your heart; you fall out of love with your head. | |

Chögyam Trungpa | Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior | you don’t spell out the truth, you imply the truth with wakeful delight… When you spell out the truth it loses its essence and becomes either ‘my’ truth or ‘your’ truth… By implying the truth, the truth doesn’t become anyone’s property. |

Chögyam Trungpa | You don't have to dress up in fancy costumes, you don't have to have someone—or a whole organization—behind you to prove that what you're doing is right... a tremendous conflict with form goes along with that. | |
Amy Tan | Saving Fish From Drowning | You don't have to be stupid to marry the wrong man... Isn't that what love is—losing your mind? You don't see your beloved's faults... [but] when the anesthesia of love wears off, there is always the pain of consequences. |
J. D. Salinger | Catcher in the Rye | you don't have to be a bad guy to depress somebody—you can be a good guy and do it. All you have to do to depress somebody is give than a lot of phony advice. |
