#wholeness

If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.

One must learn to love oneself—thus I teach—with a whole and healthy love: that one may endure oneself and not go wandering about.

I teach you the friend in whom the world standeth complete, a capsule of the good—the creating friend, who hath always a complete world to bestow.

The game of life is not a battle between good and evil; it is a play between light and shadow, which together make the picture.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

There are no mistakes in nature. There are only events.

To himself he always appears to be doing both.

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.

I'd rather be whole than good.

Individuation means becoming a single, homogeneous being, and, in so far as 'individuality' embraces our innermost, ultimate, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one's own self.

The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life.

The mandala is an archetypal image whose occurrence is attested throughout the ages. It signifies the wholeness of the Self.

We should not pretend that we understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling.

Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integration of the contraries.

A relationship between two whole persons is infinitely richer than a fusion between two halves.

Love is the pursuit of whole, the longing to be restored to that original unity from which we fell.

He is happy who lives in accordance with complete virtue and is sufficiently equipped with external goods, not for some chance period but throughout a complete life.

In love, a human being encounters another in their unrepeatable wholeness.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

To live without comparison is to discover extraordinary beauty.

The heart that loves is never lonely.

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty.

You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.

Solitude is not loneliness. Solitude is the presence of oneself.

Love is the pursuit of the whole.

The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole.

A branch cut off from the adjacent branch must of necessity be cut off from the whole tree also.

Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.

The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.

Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.
