“Try to be wrong once in a while, it’ll do your ego good.”

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Letters are something from you. It’s a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.

Energy can’t be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction.

I thank the earth and the sky every day for the opportunities I’ve had.

If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you’re a badass with the heart of an angel.

Nothing ever truly dies. The universe wastes nothing, everything is simply transformed.

Tattoos are interesting, but at the same time they are also a mask – you are exhibiting your past life on your body.

Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.

You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.

Life is good when you have a good sandwich.

There’s nothing wrong with being gay, so to deny it is to make a judgment.

When you truly understand karma, then you realize you are responsible for everything in your life.

When the people you love are gone, you’re alone.

I think your ego gets in the way of making something good because it kind of blinds you from the actual art.

Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.

Vanity, fear, desire, competition – all such distortions within our own egos – condition our vision of those in relation to us.

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
