• Humour allows us to see that ultimately things don't make sense. The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to. Our ego-mind and emotions are a dramatic illusion. Of course, we all feel that they're real: my drama, your drama, our confrontations. We create these elaborate scenarios and then react to them. But there is nothing really happening outside our mind! This is karma's cosmic joke. You can laugh about the irony of this, or you can stick with your scenario. It's your choice.

  Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

• If you're holding on to an offense, then you haven't forgiven the person who hurt you. Unforgiveness finds excuses to talk about what people have done to us, and we'll tell anyone who will listen. There's a difference between sharing your testimony to help someone and talking about what's been done to you because you are angry about it.

  Ted Dekker

• The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments.
  They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul.
  If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.
  If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.

  Meister Eckhart

  Letting Go, Memories, Angel

• Sometimes just to paint a head you have to give up the whole figure. To paint a leaf, you have to sacrifice the whole landscape.
