“Even if you have been neglecting your body, you'll find that our cells are so much more forgiving than we are. The second you start loving your body, it starts loving you back. It doesn't hold grudges. As soon as you start feeding yourself better emotionally, spiritually, and physically, everything responds in the positive.”

“If you make a decision in your life, even one as eminently logical and self-improving as "Why'd you start washing your hair every day?" and you start getting questioned hourly about it, you're going to start second-guessing yourself.”

“It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory, but when you succeed, you start to realize that you’re capable of far more than you imagined. You live in this vast body called the Universe, which contains all the solutions and all the problems. Visit your soul; don’t visit your past. The Universe goes through many mutations and carries the past with it. We call each of those mutations a ‘life,’ but just as the cells in your body change and yet you remain the same, so time does not pass, it merely changes.”

“Start by learning to love God by beginning to love those whom you cannot. You will find that in serving others you are serving yourself.”

Meher Baba (1894–1969) Indian mystic

44 : God Alone Is, p. 72.
The Everything and the Nothing (1963)
Context: Before he can know Who he is, man has to unlearn the mass of illusory knowledge hehas burdened himself with on the interminable journey from unconsciousness to consciousness. It is only through love that you can begin to unlearn, and, eventually, put an end to all that you do not know. God-love penetrates all illusion, while no amount of illusion can dim God-love. Start by learning to love God by beginning to love those whom you cannot. You will find that in serving others you are serving yourself. The more you remember others with kindness and generosity, the less you remember yourself; and when you completely forget yourself, you find me as the Source of all Love.

“To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.”

Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) American writer

“If you believe too much you'll never notice the flaws; if you doubt too much you won't get started. It requires a lovely balance.”

Richard Hamming (1915–1998) American mathematician and information theorist

You and Your Research (1986)
Context: Most people like to believe something is or is not true. Great scientists tolerate ambiguity very well. They believe the theory enough to go ahead; they doubt it enough to notice the errors and faults so they can step forward and create the new replacement theory. If you believe too much you'll never notice the flaws; if you doubt too much you won't get started. It requires a lovely balance.
