« Trust is combined with the present. Stop squinting for the next time! ... The question is not to gain confidence but to let go of the thirst for mastery and to accept a little to lose the pedals. I have immense faith in practice. »

« I love Rousseau's distinction that can lay the foundations for a new spiritual exercise: "Self-love, which only looks at us, is happy when our true needs are met; but self-esteem, which compares, is never content and cannot be, because this feeling, by preferring us to others, also requires that others prefer us to them; which is impossible. This is how sweet and affectionate passions are born from self-love, and how hateful and irascible passions are born from self-esteem" JJ Rousseau, Emile. »

« As soon as I laid down my suitcases, I ran to my master. And while we were on our way for a long walk, I wanted to confide my troubles. His masterful words immediately set the tone for the journey: "Alexander, talking tires you out. Keep quiet. Only break it if it's vital." »
