“Hour by hour, day by day, life becomes possible.”

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

I am what I feel and think and do.

Tomorrow is another day toward death.

We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.

I want to write because I have the urge to excel in one medium of translation and expression of life.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone.

I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.

If the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows.

The constant struggle in mature life, I think, is to accept the necessity of tragedy and conflict, and not to try to escape to some falsely simple solution which does not include these more somber complexities.

One thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.

I feel terribly vulnerable and ‘not-myself’ when I’m not writing.

I have been surfing for my whole life. I love it and I don’t know that I can get much better now, I have peaked, which bothers me but I have to accept it.

To imagine a language is to imagine a form of life.

While the home must always be the center of one’s life, it should not be the boundary of one’s ambitions.

There’s a worthy and noble ambition: strength in the face of adversity. That is very different from the wish for a life free of trouble.

Indian spirituality is not wimpy. We stand up for what matters. We stand up for life.

You do not have to do anything, you do not have to think anything, you do not have to feel anything to be complete. You are a Complete Life as You are.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
