« Change your time. Practice slow cures. Understand that there must be periods of "fast time" and "slow time" in our lives. As our current lifestyles often impose on us the former, grant us the second, regularly. Walking more slowly down the street. Stop more often to look around. Leave free time in our schedules, and agree not to do anything about it. »

« An example of this invisible pollution: the proliferation of plans on television. The speed of the images, the multiplication of the plans follow a market logic (keep the viewers captive to preserve the audience, i.e. the income related to advertising). There is a word - zapping - to describe what the channels fear, but no word for this multiplication of planes - fragmenting-stupidizing? This is all the more pernicious, because not naming evil is risking not recognizing it. On the way out, an unnecessary simplification of thought, and impoverishment; not that the long and complex are always richer, but they are sometimes necessary. And, again and again, this dirty habit of not fixing our thinking, of not muscle our concentration. To become psychic unstable, agitated jar, handicapped introspection and reflection (a little bit) thorough. »

« You're going to keep going now. Now you've understood and accepted that your life is going on here, right now. That you must love yourself, that you can love others, and be loved by them, without trembling or holding on to you. That happiness is tragic, intermittent and indispensable. That sometimes you can be wise and sometimes you can't. You can go. Quiet. »
