When one has let go of that great hidden agenda that drives humanity and its varied histories, then one can begin to encounter the immensity of one's own soul. If we are courageous enough to say, "Not this person, nor any other, can ultimately give me what I want; only I can, " then we are free to celebrate a relationship for what it can give. James Hollis
About This Quote

The world is full of people who believe that life is an extremely complicated journey and we’ve all got a million and one things we want. We’re gonna get them and we’re gonna get them right now. We’re gonna get the power, the money, the fame, the women, the recognition. Life is about getting everything you can possibly imagine and it doesn’t matter what the consequences are to the people around you. You have to have that sort of drive just to stay alive, but actually that drive is actually ruining our society.
