If it's real, it can take the pressure. You don't have to pussyfoot around the real thing. If they're telling you you must lower your voice and avert your gaze, then you're probably in the presence of crap.

~Terence McKenna

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. But make the slightest distinction and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

~Baba Ram Das
