Via Jerry Coyne, I learned of this website that has created a list of words commonly used by Chopra in his tweets and connects them randomly to get sentences that sound like they are saying something deep when it is pure nonsense. In other words, they are Chopraesque.
Here are some examples: “The ego depends on universal truth”, “Freedom is inside subtle reality”, and “Imagination is rooted in humble sensations”.
Who knows, if you string enough of them together, you may even be able to get a best selling book and appear on The View.

Those aren’t actual quotes? They sound very authentic indeed.

Between the Gladwell book generator and the Chopra deepity generator, I think I have struck gold. I think I shall quit my low-paying job tomorrow. Thanks!

I tried around 20 quotes and there wasn’t a single mention of “quantum”. I’m sorry but this website needs work

If you need something between a quote and book length (and in the postmodern style) allow me to recommend: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/

“Your consciousness embraces intrinsic excellence”
Indeed.
And here’s one for rgmani:
“The secret of the universe explores quantum fulfillment”
