My favourite quote from the book is:

'Your opportunity has come to take up your rightful position as the Maestro. When you do that, you create an incredible relationship with the most important person in your life: your authentic self.'

It made me believe in myself the more.

My favourite quote is: It matters not your age, IQ, education, religious affiliation, or political persuasion—you are a consummate possibility. It energies me to always believe in myself.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

My favourite quote from the book is where, in a paraphrasing mode, the author says combining the ultimate understanding with the critical addendum is combining the physical with the spiritual". That quote drove me crazy.

My favorite one is a quote mentioned in the book. “The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live”. It reminds us to got through the day with joy and to live in the now.

If I may... another of my favorite quotes in my book is: "Why it's only the movement of my eyes! And here I've been looking for it far and wide. Awakened at last, I find myself not so bad after all." NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL... that really sums it up about the entire human family; that means you and me :) Rob

My favorite quote from the book is, "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." This quote reminds one to be determined in choosing where they want their life to head and not allow the intruder to determine this.

Mine is:
"The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live” by Norman Cousins

This struck a cord in my heart and made me want to cry. Why? Because I have let so many things die inside me while I live. I plan on reviving them one by one so that my story does not end up as a tragedy.

My favorite quote from the book is "The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live."
I love this quote because it is a 100% true for me. I couldn't agree more with Norman Cousins. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and you can only do that if you are the Maestro of your own life.

There are many quotes in this excellent book but the one that appealed to me is that of Norman Cousins, which states that "The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live” by Norman Cousins. This quote is inspirational and relevant to the content of this book.

“The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live.” This is my favourite quote. With a lot of cases in depression, people tend to give up innate yearnings to pursue worthless admirations of others. They therefore end up destroying themselves. This quote enhances one to have a sense of direction and purpose in life. It also encourages us not to give up in ourselves.

My favorite quote, as author of this book, is this: "Thank you, all of you onlinebookclub members for being n expression of what it is to be a loving, kindly human being. That's the Maestro expressing through you" Obviously, I just came up with that quote (it's not in the book), but if I was adding something new to my gratitude page (in the book), it would be about the fabulous members of the onlinebookclub :) Rob author: The Maestro Monologue

I built a library of quotes as I read the book it was hard to get a favorite quote. However, one of my favorite quotes was " No man is free who is not a master of himself." It made me realize the importance of self-realization to attain the height I desire.

My favorite quote is, "Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing" by Orison Swett Marden. I find this to be true because you never know what you are capable of until you try.
