Estreita é do prazer na vida a taça: Largo, como o oceano é largo e fundo, E como ele em venturas infecundo, O cális amargoso da desgraça. E contudo nossa alma, quando passa incerta peregrina, pelo mundo, Prazer só pede à vida, amor fecundo, É com essa esperança que se abraça.

The root of evil is within you. As you begin to understand this, you stop making demands on yourself, you stop having expectations of yourself, you stop pushing yourself and you understand. Nourish yourself on wholesome food, good wholesome food. I'm not talking about actual food, I'm talking about sunsets, about nature, about a good movie, about a good book, about enjoyable work, about good company, and hopefully you will break your addictions to those other feelings.
~ Anthony de Mello
So, we were born happy. We lost it. We were born with the gift of life. We lost it. We've got to rediscover it. Why did we lose it? Because we were working actively. They taught us to work actively, to make ourselves miserable. How did they do that? By teaching us to become attached. By teaching us to have desires so intense that we would refuse to be happy unless they were fulfilled.
~ Anthony de Mello

~ Anthony de Mello
But to depend on another psychologically—to depend on another emotionally—what does that imply? It means to depend on another human being for my happiness. Think about that. Because if you do, the next thing you will be doing, whether you're aware of it or not, is demanding that other people contribute to your happiness.
~ Anthony de Mello
