The master enjoined not austerity, but moderation. If we truly enjoyed things, he claimed, we would be spontaneously moderate. Asked why he was so opposed to ascetical practices, he replied, "Because they produce pleasure-haters who always become people-haters — rigid and cruel."

"I read my Facebook and Twitter comments – I lurk. I see the supportive comments and the jealously hateful ones too. When all is said and done, it doesn’t matter. For those faithful who know me, you already know I make my music for only 3 people in the whole world: me, myself and I. So those that complain about “dubstep” or “metal” or “drum and bass” or “whogivesashit” - I don’t care. Never have. I love what I do and do what I love and am REALLY thankful that so many of you get it and are hanging out with me during this musical expedition. Haters gonna hate and they’ll come and go – so what. The world is a BIG place and there is plenty of other music for haters to love. Bye!!"
Klayton
I began to see why woman-haters could make such fools of women. Woman-haters were like gods: invulnerable and chock-full of power. They descended, and then they disappeared. You could never catch one.
Sylvia Plath
Don’t tell me you are a moderate. Moderate is an adjective. It is a qualifier. You may be a moderate conservative, a moderate democrat, or a moderate drinker but it doesn’t tell me what you believe in. It’s not a philosophy. Unless all you believe in is moderation for the sake of moderation. Grow up! You can’t be a good egg all of your life. Someday you have to either hatch or rot.
Mike Rosen
The champions of militant Islam are, of course, misogynists, woman-haters; they are also misologists — haters of reason. Their armed doctrine is little more than a chaotic penal code underscored by impotent dreams of genocide. And, like all religions, it is a massive agglutination of stock response, of cliches, of inherited and unexamined formulations.
Martin Amis
A disciple asked, "Who is a Master?"
The Master replied, "Anyone to whom it is given to let go of the ego. Such a person's life is then a masterpiece."Anthony de Mello
