“Najprej začneš videti več. Potem slišiš več. In nazadnje čutiš več. Veš vse o vsem in vse ti je popolnoma jasno. Vidiš povezanost vsega in jo občutiš. Veš, da si eno z vesoljem.”

True masters do not play the game on a single chessboard, but on multiple chessboards at the same time. And what’s the difference between grandmasters and masters? Surprises. The moves that cannot be predicted by the opponent. Life can play a simultaneous game with seven billion people at the same time and it can take each and every one of us by surprise. And we still believe we are capable of winning, because we can predict three of four moves ahead. We are insignificant.”
