“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved.”

Suppose we suddenly wake up and see that what we thought to be this and that, ain’t this and that at all?

The closer you get to real matter, rock air fire and wood, boy, the more spiritual the world is.

The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream.

I’m right there, swimming the river of hardships but I know how to swim.

A sociable smile is nothing but a mouth full of teeth.

Be in love with your life, every detail of it.

All I wanted to do was sneak out into the night and disappear somewhere, and go and find out what everybody was doing all over the country.

If you tell a true story, you can’t be wrong.

My life is a vast inconsequential epic.

I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.

Rest and be kind, you don’t have to prove anything

I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted.

I petted the dogs who didn’t argue with me ever. All dogs love God. They’re wiser than their masters.

My eyes were glued on life and they were full of tears.

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything. And why should I pretend to want anything else?

Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living.

Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.

Thankfulness brings you to the place where the Beloved lives.

Any relationship primarily built on physical attractiveness is predestined to be short lived.
