“Amazing what we can self-rationalize when we really want something”

“We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.”

“We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the faintest imprint of what it really was, what it meant.”

“God knows what I thought! Your brain does amazing acrobatics when it doesn't want to believe something.”

“We may not get what we want, when we want. But with a bit of perseverance and a lot of patience, we can get what we need.”

“I’ve always wanted to find the rules that govern everything. It’s amazing that such rules exist. It’s even more amazing that we can find them.”

“There is a serious discrepancy between what we really wants, and what we usually do to get what we think we want. What we really want is to fill the hole inside and become complete, and what we do is look for success and growth outside.”

“Sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it's not what we want, at least it's something.”

“What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.”

“When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need.”
