Crashingly Beautiful: the courage to be simple
“It takes more courage than we imagine to be perfectly simple with other men. Our frankness is often spoiled by a hidden barbarity, born of fear.

The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most about humanity.
He replied, ‘Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money, then spends all his money to recuperate his health, then is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result is he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.’
