As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Given the eclectic and constantly shifting nature of my metaphysical inclinations, I will probably never feel certain exactly what an angel is.

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

Every day brings new choices.

Your calling is important, regardless of its status or other people’s opinion

If you help them (the crew) create good memories, they'll forget all the bad stuff

It's no use crying over spilt milkWhat’s done, is done.

All our anxieties relate to time.

The fellow is either a madman or a poet.

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.

Time is born in the eyes, everybody knows that.

Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.

Attachment is the root cause of all misery. Possessiveness is nourishment for the ego.

No art comes from the conscious mind.
