The Four Agreements (1997)
Context: Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
“Don't take it personally. Just take it seriously.”
“If you don't take risks in life, you'll never see anything new.”

Context: I've never met anybody who's had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties, and I've never met anybody who had any problem.
