"pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. resistance creates suffering. stress happens when your mind resists what is...the only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds."
"moderation? it's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. it's the devil's dilemma. it's neither doing nor not doing. it's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. it's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew."
