More quotes by Andrew Weil

It motivates many of our activities from taking drugs to making love, and lies behind the search for new ways of getting close to one another that is so intense in our society today.
Andrew Weil
The choice is ours: we can keep on craving what we don't have, and so perpetuate our unhappiness, or we can adjust our attitude toward what we do have so that our expectations conform to our experience.

Andrew Weil
Imagine that each time you inhale, that the universe is breathing into you, and as you exhale it is breathing out of you.
Andrew Weil
Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
Andrew Weil
Health is wholeness and balance, an inner resilience that allows you to meet the demands of living without being overwhelmed.
Andrew Weil

Andrew Weil
Any drug can be used successfully, no matter how bad it's reputation, and any drug can be abused, no matter how accepted it is. There are no good or bad rugs there are only good and bad relationships with drugs.
Andrew Weil
