Memorable Quotes from the Episode

"Detachment doesn't mean I don't care what happens. It means my wellbeing is not dependent upon what happens."

"Start separating what happened from the story you tell, because that little gap is where your freedom lives."

"Maybe becoming unshakable doesn't mean reaching some spiritual state where nothing ever bothers you again. I think becoming unshakable means shortening the distance between the moment you get knocked out of yourself and the moment you return."
