Are you living just a little and calling that life?

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

As a life's work, I would remember everything - everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net.

According to Inuit culture in Greenland, a person possesses six or seven souls. The souls take the form of tiny people scattered throughout the body.

The dedicated life is worth living. You must give with your whole heart.

A prosperous person programmes prosperous thinking into his or her mind.

Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.

If you do something really cognitively demanding, like buying furniture, it turns out buying furniture is one of the most difficult things we do. Go into a furniture store and look at a sofa.

My personal definition of rock'n'roll is people attempting to do something that's beyond their ability to do it well. And whatever the outward contradictions, I do call us a rock'n'roll band.

I mean, we're not talking about simply racism, we're taking about white supremacy.

Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.

In committing to artistic growth, you have to refine your skills to support your instincts.

I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me. Might not be right for you, but it's right for me.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality, society or government.
