Neo-Hindu medical guru Deepak Chopra:

“The highest form of intelligence you can have is to observe yourself. Let it go at that. You don’t need to judge, you don’t need to analyze, you don’t even need to change. This is the key to life: the ability to reflect, the ability to know yourself, the ability to pause for a second before reacting automatically.”

“The worst thing you can do is be a conformist and buy into conformity. It’s the worst possible thing. It’s better to be outrageous…better to hang out with the sages, the people open to possibilities, even the psychotics. You never know where you’ll find the geniuses of our society.”
