The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it’s beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one.
Eckhart Tolle

There is a kind of desperate need for somebody to tell everyone what to do, which I find really peculiar in America.

So it’s a very odd experience.
Zadie Smith
