"You cannot put a new life on top of an old life. You have to dismantle the old life to a very great degree to be able to build something else in its place. And this takes a great effort and great courage. You have to break your identification with your behaviors, with your ideas, and with your history; that takes great courage and effort. Knowledge will give you the power to do this and the inspiration to do this." [1]
"People underestimate the power of their environment and their relationships to influence them and to dominate them. But nothing grows in poor soil, nothing thrives in impure waters. You cannot begin a new journey in life if you are held in place by your former life." [1]
