Russell Brand gives Tolle a shout-out today on the YouTubes. "My favourite Eckhart Tolle quotes"

I'll list his favorite quotes, because they are interesting to consider; in the video, Mr Brand also gives his own thoughts on each one, and that part is lovely.

"Sometimes letting go of things is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on."

"If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place."

"The primary cause for unhappiness is never the situation, but your thoughts about it"

"Anything you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you."

"Living up to an image that you have of yourself, or that other people have of you, is inauthentic living."

"What a liberation, to realize that the voice in my head is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that."

"If you're not living in this moment, you're not really living."

"Power over others is weakness disguised as strength."

"People don't realize that now is all there ever is. There is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind."

"Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity, cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make."
