„Nüchternheit bedeutet, eine neue Lebensweise zu finden, die Engagement beinhaltet, wo es einen Rückzug gab; Großzügigkeit, wo Egozentrik herrschte; Gemeinschaft, in der Isolation herrschte; Freude, wo Bitterkeit war; Vertrauen, wo Zynismus war.”

– Kevin Griffin, Ein Atemzug nach dem anderen: Buddhismus und die Zwölf Schritte
