Some fragments from "The Book of Dadrim"
<<Do not dream an accurate world, a man who does not feel insecure and confused, a man who feels no shame and fear. Our society is so sick and suffering just because too many people do not any longer have love and respect for human frailties, therefore, in the first instance for their own ones. But those who do not love and accept their weaknesses, how ruthless and hard will be to the frailty of others?>>

<<What I think is what I write and what I write is what I think. What I think comes from what I feel and what I feel comes from what I think, and that's all.>>
-------
<<Everything I say I always try to express it, as far as I am able, as clearly and simply as possible, because I see how simple and clear is the very nature of truth. But the simple words are also the hardest to find, because they arise only when you are ready to look at the reality of things, inside and outside of us.>>
-------
<<Our "educational" system incites abuse, creates distortions and fractures at all levels, indoctrinate the fresh minds and curious children, practicing the programmed cancellation of the free and creative minds of young generations, thus giving life to new miserable guys, who will in turn create more unhappy ones, only to avoid confronting with a tradition and a culture that must be re-discussed from the ground, and certainly not for a sterile pleasure to destroy, but for the fundamental need to regenerate that characterizes all living beings, if they want to stay alive.>>
------
<<We fear death because it represents the supreme synthesis of change, loss of everything that is customary, certainty, security, but paradoxically, if nothing changes in our lives slowly begin to feel an overwhelming sense of stagnation and inner death.>>
------
<<The evil exist? Of course! Our society is based on values that are ephemeral, egocentric, ill and, therefore, we should start calling them "anti-values"! Our processes of education are now almost exclusively suitable to provide young people with the minimal means to survive in a world of oppression. Our schools are filling up the brains of boys of knowledge, but they never touch the ethical and spiritual dimension of life.>>
------
<<Loneliness and the presence of the other are therefore the two wings that make the soul of people fly.
Isolation is a hindrance, an obstacle to be removed in order to understand and live well.>>
------
<<Love never asks if it is reciprocated, but always it just asks if it is giving enough. Love never asks whether it is to \last forever for in its very being it does not know the shadow of time.
When love arises, it does not even look back to compare the old experiences, for when it comes, like the flood of a mighty river, it always feels to be unique and unrepeatable, but never better or higher.>>
------
<<There is God beyond god, Love beyond love, Life after birth, the Supreme Good beyond good and evil, because what is real contains in itself all the opposites in perfect harmony, without suffering any corruption.>>
------
<<We are not our thoughts, we are not our anguish, our fears, our longings.
When we stop wanting to dominate the flows of our inner world, and simply remain silent and motionless in their presence, patient and confident, we discover in wonder that the violent flood of our own inner river is calming down.>>
