1 " When you don’t cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought. A depth returns to your life. Things regain their newness, their freshness. And the greatest miracle is the experiencing of your essential self as prior to any words, thoughts, mental labels and images. "
― Eckhart Tolle , A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
2 " It's amazing how close you are to your essential self as a kid, he thought, and how far from it you drift the more you strive to be loved. "
― Nina George , The Little Paris Bookshop
