"When you quit school at an early age, I think you have a lifelong need to show the world - and maybe yourself - that you're really smart after all."

Previous Quote

Whatever happens, whatever you experience, feel, think, do - it's always now. It's all there is. And if you continuously miss the now - resist it, dislike it, try to get away from it, reduce it to a means to an end, then you miss the essence of your life, and you are stuck in a dream world of images, concepts, labels, interpretations, judgments - the conditioned content of your mind that you take to be yourself.

— Eckhart Tolle
