You may find it hard to recognize that time is the cause of your suffering or your problems.

Introduction to Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Diclaimer. That site,
http://www.eckhart-tolle-quotes.com
is NOT Eckhart Tollle's official site. It's being maintained by his friends and fans and admirers. Another unique thing is, it cannot be ' cut & pasted'.
