“Don’t use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry.”

There’s wisdom in wine.

Pain or love or danger makes you real again.

Life must be rich and full of loving–it’s no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyone.

The beauty of things must be that they end.

Pretty girls make graves.

I feel guilty for being a member of the human race.

So long and take it easy, because if you start taking things seriously, it is the end of you.

No fear or shame in the dignity of your experience, language, and knowledge.

Put down the pen someone else gave you. No one ever drafted a life worth living on borrowed ink.

I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down.

I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.

I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy; and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.

You can’t live in this world but there’s nowhere else to go.

Night is longer than day for those who dream & day is longer than night for those who make their dreams comes true.

On soft Spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars – Something good will come out of all things yet – And it will be golden and eternal just like that – There’s no need to say another word.

Some of my most neurotically fierce bitterness is the result of realizing how untrue people have become.

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.

If the world is to save any part of its resources for the future, it must reduce not only consumption but the number of consumers.

I’m starting to find out that a lot of people that you wouldn’t think listen to me really do.

I am in love with every church And mosque And temple And any kind of shrine Because I know it is there That people say the different names Of the One God.

The old Romans all wished to have a king over them because they had not yet tasted the sweetness of freedom.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.

Except when physically restrained, a person is least free or dignified when he is under threat of punishment, and unfortunately most people often are.

I don’t want people to get the impression that I just got money and now I’m cocky, because I’m not. I’m just a little overly confident.
