“God is a concept by which we measure our pain.”

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.

Art is only a way of expressing pain.

Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.

One thing you can’t hide – is when you’re crippled inside.

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.

The world went mad and used us as an excuse.

Tame birds sing of freedom. Wild birds fly.

I’m not afraid of death because I don’t believe in it. It’s just getting out of one car, and into another.

Get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you’ll get it as soon as you like.

The reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up.

Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.

My teacher asked me what I want to be when I grow up, I said happy. She told me I don’t understand the assignment, I told her she doesn’t understand life.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.

It may, however, be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character, for concepts alone are capable of being socialized.

All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent.

If we’re going to strive for spiritual growth, we have to be willing to put concepts into practice in our everyday lives, in all relationships with all people. You can’t separate your “spiritual life” from your “work life.” They’re both your life! In the same vein, you can’t separate money and happiness.

A wrong concept misleads the understanding; a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego.

God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.

The concept of ‘peak oil’ has penetrated the hearts and minds of people concerned about energy for the future. ‘Peak fish’ occurred around the end of the 1980s.

How many thorns of human nature are bristling conceits, buds of promise grown sharp for want of congenial climate.

Some may remember, if you have good memories, that there used to be a concept in Anglo-American law called a presumption of innocence, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
