“When you are detached, you gain a higher vantage point from which to view the events in your life instead of being trapped inside them.   You   become   like   an   astronaut   who   sees the planet Earth surrounded by the vastness of space and realizes a paradoxical truth: The earth is precious and at the same time insignificant.”- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

“Being detached does not mean that you cannot enjoy the good that the world has to offer. In fact, you enjoy it more. Once you see and accept the transience of all things and the inevitability of change, you can enjoy the pleasures of the world while they last without fear of loss or anxiety about the future.”- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

“The soul can untie itself from desire for the passing things of this world by constantly contemplating the higher world and drawing strength and inspiration from it.” -Socrates
