More quotes by Hugh Prather

Hugh Prather

Hugh Prather
Love, the magician, knows this little trick whereby two people walk in different directions yet always remain side by side.
Hugh Prather
All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.
Hugh Prather
Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risks on new behavior, trying new ways of 'being myself', so that I can see who it is I want to be.
Hugh Prather
There is no place love is not.
Hugh Prather
When I get to where I can enjoy just lying on the rug picking up lint balls, I will no longer be too ambitious.
