“Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.”

“You have the ability to choose your reactions.”

“Choose your enemies carefully ‘cos they will define you
Make them interesting ‘cos in some ways they will mind you
They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friend”

“What if the puzzle of the world was a shape you didn't fit into? And the only way to survive was to mutilate yourself, carve away your corners, sand yourself down, modify yourself to fit? How come we haven't been able to change the puzzle instead?”

“You become what you surround yourself with. Energies are contagious. Choose carefully. Your environment will become you.”

“by the time you open your eyes, the world might have already changed.”

“Every moment in your life is a turning and every one a choosing. Somewhere you made a choice. All followed to this. The accounting is scrupulous. The shape is drawn. No line can be erased. I had no belief in your ability to move a coin to your bidding. How could you? A person's path through the world seldom changes and even more seldom will it change abruptly. And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning.”

“Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.”

“(…) if you can change yourself you will find that no other change is needed. To change the picture you merely change the film, you do not attack the cinema screen! (…) Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctify your life – this is the quickest way to a change of your world.”

“Your needs are your choice. Because they are your choice, this means you are not bound by them. You can choose to change your needs.”
