Quotes

“Whenever you experience unusual gains or losses, that is precisely the time to step back and counterbalance them with some necessary pessimism or optimism. Be extra wary of sudden success and attention — they are not built on anything that lasts and they have an addictive pull. And the fall is always painful.” – Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature

If they let us down we may find we have nothing to lean on at all. That, at least, is the fear.” – Allan Hunter, The Path of Synchronicity

“Bodily urges can be unruly, so we must also take care that the world of physical love and sex, with its powerful ability to override other feelings, does not so fill our lives that we cannot see what else is happening.” – Allan Hunter, The Path of Synchronicity

“We could do worse than to listen to the messages our body sends us, as opposed to attempting to shut down those communications. This powerful preverbal current of energy will set us on the right path every time—but only if we listen to its nonverbal language and know what it’s saying.” – Allan Hunter, The Path of Synchronicity
