“To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.”

The meeting of man and God must always mean a penetration and entry of the divine into the human and a self-immergence of man in the Divinity.

An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good; otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.

Suffering makes us capable of the full force of the Master of Delight; it makes us capable also to bear the utter play of the Master of Power. Pain is the key that opens the gates of strength; it is the high-road that leads to the city of beatitude.

But difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.

Man in the world’s life works out the dreams of God.

This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.

Only when Eternity takes Time by the hand, Only when infinity weds the finite’s thought, Can man be free from himself and live with God.

Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you … political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.

The anarchic is the true divine state of man in the end as in the beginning; but in between it would lead us straight to the devil and his kingdom.

You have however within you an inclination towards completeness.

Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.

Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.

To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.

Hidden nature is secret God.

Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation; all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.

What is God after all? An eternal child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden.

I remember listening to Sugar Free and Jay Z and I never really understood some of the stuff they used to say until years later. Then you hear it again like, Damn that’s crazy. I just got what he’s talking about.

I don’t turn to anyone for advice. I do what I want.

So if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.

I’ve looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I’m there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I’ve been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.

I don’t even listen to the records after they come out. It’s outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can’t play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it’s just business. Numbers.

I do what I do. You like it, great. You don’t, go listen to somebody else. I’m stickin’ with the people who stuck with me.
