Our modern day, hyper-rat-race culture often leads us to mistakenly confuse'busy' for 'success'. The truth of the matter is that if you're constantly having to tell people how busy you are and how overwhelmed with work or stressed you are, what you're really telling them is that you can't cope with what's on your plate. You're __ailing_.

When one dream dies we replace it with another.

It is essential to our health and happiness that we dedicate ourselves to some kind of mission or purpose that transcends the mundane hustle and bustle of daily living.

Only ever doing what feels comfortable is a form of suicide.

Familiarity breeds contempt, for others at first, but then inwardly, contempt towards ourselves.

Dialogue can help you find out if you__e been brainwashed or not.

Dialogue with the self is the source of all insight and insight is the only thing that can change your life.

See yourself as a long-term work in progress, not a short-term project of preservation.

Dialogue reminds us that we can question to build, not only to doubt or deconstruct.

There are two types of 'busy': 1)Constantly distracting yourself from what is true. 2) Constantly working to create something real.

If humans created it then it is the product of a choice that somebody made. And if it was chosen it can be changed.

Nobody is going to save you but yourself and the __est_ and only way to do so isthrough action.

Life is for those that deserve it. Those kings amongst men who can climb out of barrels and will dare to break through glass walls and to transcend all of this whatever it is, these eyes to the ground, this pretence, acting only as is expected and never as is intended. We have been told what is acceptable in what situation and so we take heed. This is not living. In the real world, in nature, there is no need to pretend. There is no place for it.

If we go in to each situation that life throws at us with an attitude that we canlearn from it then we will never be truly defeated.

The final lesson is that 'reality' is always the way to go and that acceptance is the only way to get there.

If philosophy gets you lost in the labyrinth of symbols that distance us from reality, then it is part of the problem; if it motivates positive action that can create a better world, philosophy is usually a gift.

I decided to give up meaningless sex, but then I remembered that everything is meaningless.

Dialogue is about creating awareness through self-observation; it starts from the inside out, not the outside in.
