My favorite quote from the book is "You are the painter whose beautiful brush strokes ripple eternally in the diverse artwork that is the eternal present." (Page 220) I found it at the end of the book, and I loved it more than any other quote; it flatters me a lot and makes me feel confident, bold, and very important.

"In any case, allow that which is out of your control to be as it is—for it will be as it is regardless. Accept it. Love it. Laugh at it if you want, conceptually or literally." Page 113.
As humans, there are forces beyond our control, whether we like it or not. We are only natural but there is the supernatural too and we mostly can't do anything beyond natural without supernatural influence. So we can just accept what is and learn to live with it. Be happy in the midst of everything as they are. We did it create our nature or other forms of nature around us. We can only utilise them to our benefit, in a good way, that is.
