“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

I felt a tremendous distance between myself and everything real.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that claim a God and the only thing that behaves like it hasn’t got one.

It gave me a strange feeling, and the rest of that night I didn’t say much, but merely sat there and drank, trying to decide if I was getting older and wiser, or just plain old.

With the truth so dull and depressing, the only working alternative is wild bursts of madness and filigree.

If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.

There is something fresh and crisp about the first hours of a Caribbean day, a happy anticipation that something is about to happen, maybe just up the street or around the next corner.

Stop holding so tightly onto your love. The wind knows where it needs to go.

The time you want the map, is before you enter the woods.

Every part of the journey is of importance to the whole.

Think back 5 years ago. Think of where you’re at today. Think ahead 5 years and what you want to accomplish. Be Unstoppable.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

The servant of God earns half a doctorate through illness.

The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.

Pull over to the side of your journey and look how far you’ve come.
