Favorite David Michie Quotes

1. "You know, Professor, this stray kitten and you have one very important thing in common.''I can't imagine,' responded the professor coolly.'Your life is the most important thing in the world to you,' said His Holiness. 'Same for this kitten." ~ David Michie
2. "There's no thrilling anticipation of the day's first cup of coffee...nor the eye-closing delight of that first swallow of sauvignon blanc in the evening. We cats have no access to everyday mood-enhancing substances. Apart from humble catnip, there is no pharmaceutical refuge if we're suffering from boredom, depression, existential crisis, or even an everyday headache." ~ David Michie
3. "Surely you're not saying that the life of a human and the life of an animal are of the same value?' he ventured.'As humans we have much greater potential, of course,' His Holiness replied. 'But the way we all want very much to stay alive, the way we cling to our particular experience of consciousness-in this way human and animal are equal." ~ David Michie
4. "The main shift, you see, is from placing self at the center of our thoughts to putting others there. It is-what do you say?-a paradox that the more we can focus our thoughts on the well-being of others, the happier we become. The first one to benefit is oneself. I call this being wisely selfish." ~ David Michie
5. "Despising yourself, thinking you are no good, saying ‘I can't do this.' This is the mind of weakness. You must work to overcome it." "It's not through choice," Sam protested faintly. "Then you must choose to overcome. What happens if you keep giving in to a weak mind? You feed weakness. The result is an even weaker mind in the future. Instead, you must cultivate confidence!" ~ David Michie
6. "Buddha was once asked to describe the essence of his teachings," Rinpoche said. "Do you know what he replied? 'Abandon harmfulness. Cultivate goodness. Subdue your mind." ~ David Michie
7. "— Eu não sabia que o senhor tinha uma gata! — exclamou a mulher. Sempre me surpreendo com a quantidade de pessoas que fazem observações desse tipo, embora nem todas sejam tão ousadas quanto a americana, que deu voz à sua surpresa. Por que Sua Santidade não teria um gato — se é que "ter um gato" seja a forma correta de entender essa relação?" ~ David Michie

Abel grabs my shoulders to steady me. "You can do this," he say. "I won't lie. Part of me was hoping you would abandon this but we've come this far. You're special, cousin. You're going to do great things. Just promise me that you won't love it someplace else and leave me here alone."
