When in doubt, avoid the synthetic route.

You become whatever you immerse yourself in.

Subtraction is greater than addition.

The status quo is rotting with disorder.

Our bodies and brains are not standing in separate corners of the room.

You don’t need to be like them to be liked by them.

The immune system is not a battle ground—it’s a relationship.

The antidote is in the wound.
