One extremely important purpose of emotions from an evolutionary perspective is to help us decide what to remember and what to forget. The cavewoman who could remember which cave had the gentle guy who gave her food is more likely to be our foremother than the cave woman who confused it with the cave that held the killer bear. The emotion of love (or something resembling it) and the emotion of fear would help secure her memories.

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.

All the things that truly matter--beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace--arise from beyond the mind.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Entrepreneurs are really con artists who get other people to pay them to practice getting better at what they love to do.

 This is God's plan, homey, not mine...

I am what I am. You can like it or love it.

Every man should be master of anything he does and should do it in a masterly manner, with love, no matter what it is, whether hard physical work, menial or boring work, or inspirational work.

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Don't search for answers now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything.

Though love is blind, yet 'tis not for want of eyes.

…to live differently, to love differently, to think differently, or to try to. Is the danger of beauty so great that it is better to live without it (the standard model)? Or to fall into her arms fire to fire? There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value. Inside the horror of Nagasaki and Hiroshima lies the beauty of Einstein's E=MC squared

Four be the things I'd been better without: Love, curiosity, freckles and doubt.
