« On the way back, I feel that deep down there is a heart that expands, a being that regains its dimension: the less one takes care of oneself, the less one suffers. Meeting others, listening to them, certainly contributes to this. »

« Regret makes us twice unhappy: the first, for not having achieved what we desired; the second, to reactivate the sadness by reproaching us for experiencing it. Quite the opposite of joy, in which we do not judge life! »

« It is difficult to be simple. It's hard to stay naked in the face of life. It is as if our mind is working from morning to night to complicate it, to compare it, to wait for circumstances that will never happen, to regret a past that has passed forever. To lead a simple life is to surrender to everything. It is not even a question of wanting to make one's regrets disappear. If the regrets are there, no problem, they have their place. To begin a simple life is to ask what is central in my existence: problems, tensions, tensions? And live, simply. »
