“If you depend on the widespread lover's delusion, 'With my love he or she will change,' you have little chance to help yourself. This delusion is external control to the maximum. If things are not good from the beginning, they are very likely to change, but not for the better.”

“It is a common delusion that you make things better by talking about them.”

“We ‘unbelievers’ are not a threat; we offer help. Whoever comes away from delusion will be better off. Just ask some of those who already have. They’ll be happy to help you.”

“The brain is very good at self-delusion.”

“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change”

“It is a very strange thing, to be in love. It changes you.”

“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

“It is not possible to control the outside of yourself until you have mastered your breathing space. It is not possible to change anything until you understand the substance you wish to change.”

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at actually begin to change.”

“My philosophy was very much to embrace yourself and love what you are, instead of making you something you're not. Refine what you already have - don't change it at its core. That's always been my whole ethos.”
