Conditioned Quotes

I'm conditioned to know that I'm gonna fuck something up, so I go into anything that makes me feel truly vulnerable with an acknowledgment that it may be temporary, or I may be limited in my ability to fulfill this really big thing that doesn't require me to be sharp or witty or dexterous. It requires me to be fucking naive and simple and nice and reliable. I worry about it, because I'm better at: make a joke and leave.

All conditioned things are impermanent-when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.
