"Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion and it doesn't do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we would also get rid of our basic wonderfulness...the key is to wake up, to become more alert, more inquisitive and curious about ourselves."
 --Pema Chodron
