“It’s not that I take pride in being unfashionable. It’s just that I’ve gotten used to it.”

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.

The hippie era was a wonderful time because we still believed we could make the world a better place.

In your twenties, you think you are immortal. In your thirties, you hope you are immortal.

Nobody in the world could possibly be as mean as I look, could they?

I don’t really have the voice for love songs, do I?

I’m not a poker player; I play slot machines.

I guess anything in excess is no good for you, even things that are supposed to be healthy.

Some songs, you just can’t shake; they keep creeping back into your set list.

I am emphatically not a Nazi.

I’m against any religion, and Communism and Nazism – they’re both equally religions. They’re just replacement gods.

I didn’t really want to be in the lifestyle without the music. And I didn’t want to be in the music without the lifestyle.

I’ve never met a girl who could stop me looking at all the others. If I did, I’d marry her.

As a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I learned that I should give up being a guitar player.

Rock n’ roll’s had a good time out of me – and I’ve had a very good time out of rock n’ roll.

Eddie Cochran – I never got to see him live, but he could play. Him and Buddy Holly, they were the best guitarists. They could get a good raunchy beat going.

Falling in love is terrible. It makes you act foolish, like an idiot.

As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the mind’s compulsive contraction around objects will fade. Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

There is profound responsibility in being Love… more than the mind could imagine or hold up under. If most human beings truly realized the impact that they have on the whole, they’d be crushed by the realization of it.

In a certain sense, if I have an idea about you that I believe, I’ve degraded you. I’ve made you into something very small. This is the way of human beings, this is what we do to each other.

Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.

Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if ‘I’m good.’ You don’t find oak trees having existential crisis. ‘I feel so rotten about myself. I don’t produce as much acorns as the one next to me.’

Retreat is a response to the call of the heart-that call which beckons us toward reality, to the truth of our being, to that which is truly sane, really real and liberating …

The true heart of all human beings is the lover of what is.

I just want to do whatever makes me happy…Like being totally conscious. Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do. Being with friends, having fun…being a bit daft.
