Hugh Prather
Love, the magician, knows this little trick whereby two people walk in different directions yet always remain side by side.
Hugh Prather
A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
Hugh Prather
I can't be found in myself I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.
Hugh Prather
Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather

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
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Hugh Prather
Today I don't want to live for, I want to live.
