Quotations from A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle:
I am loving this book and recommend it to anyone interested in practicing presence and acquiring inner peace. While I still have a few chapters to go, here are some of my favorite quotations:
The ego cannot distinguish between a situation and its interpretation of and reaction to that situation.
In response to thinking that situations are the source of our emotions, as in: "'What a dreadful day!'" ... What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it and the emotion that is created by that resistance.
When we think others are the cause of our suffering: I am holding you responsible for my pain.
and
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
