In the highest sense, we are all creatures of light. And I have a very difficult time talking with people who are cynical about the world. “The world is no damn good, and we’re all animals,” and that kind of thing. Well, I’m an animal.
The only thing that shatters dreams is compromise.
Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created this mess you got yourself into in the first place.
When you’re flying, an airplane doesn’t care who you are; it doesn’t care how much money you make or don’t make. All it cares about is: How well do you fly? How well do you know the airplane? How well do you know the sky?
Only a few people are interested in what you have to say, but that is all right. You don’t have to tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
I think our learning lies along the path of whatever it is we love.
I have a way of finding what is true for me, and it’s not finished yet.

Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Everything you’ve said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn’t stop it from being true this minute!
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
How easy it is to be compassionate when it’s yourself you see in trouble.
For most gulls it was not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.
I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.
Reality is divinely indifferent.
Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.
I had experiences along the way that helped me to realize that letting go was the way that worked for me to find something that I, personally, as a reader, love to read.
Believe you know all the answers, and you know all the answers. Believe you’re a master, and you are.
