“Garages, barns, and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.”

You wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent.

Ordinary eternal machinery, like the grinding of the stars.

A young nurse is standing close behind me wondering whether she is being drawn by my power or her charity.

After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.

A kite is a victim you are sure of. You love it because it pulls.

You live your life as if it’s real, a thousand kisses deep.

To kiss her there was to intrude into something private and skeletal, like a turtle’s shoulder.

How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof.

Deprivation is the mother of poetry.

Going nowhere isn’t about turning your back on the world; it’s about stepping away now and then so that you can see the world more clearly and love it more deeply.

There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn’t.

Love is the only engine of survival.

Little moments attach themselves to other little moments and collect into big dreams. We become what we experience.

Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things – that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart’s attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

As long as you’re giving up quality records and you’re makin’ hit records, people are always gonna want to hear a hit and they’ll always want to be attached to something that’s doin’ great.

Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation

I release all attachments, knowing that anything that is truly mine will not pass me by and will arrive in divine time.

Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything, you are attached to nothing.

Be not attached to who you think you are. So you can believe all that you are meant to be.
