When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently.

— Eckhart Tolle

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you're doing, you become stressed.

— Eckhart Tolle

Where there is anger there is always pain underneath.

— Eckhart Tolle

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable, and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

— Eckhart Tolle

Why Human should not look at the past?

— Eckhart Tolle

With stillness comes the benediction of Peace.

— Eckhart Tolle

Words, no matter whether they are vocalized and made into sounds or remain unspoken as thoughts, can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you. You easily lose yourself in them, become hypnotized into implicitly believing that when you have attached a word to something, you know what it is. The fact is: You don’t know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg.

— Eckhart Tolle

You are awareness, disguised as a person.

— Eckhart Tolle

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

— Eckhart Tolle

You can only be in a state of non-reaction if you can recognize someone's behavior as coming from the ego, as being an expression of the collective human dysfunction. When you realize it's not personal, there is no longer a compulsion to react as if it were.

— Eckhart Tolle
