At the age of twenty six I am in the condition of an aged person - all my old friends are gone... & my heart fails when I think by how few ties I hold to the world.

Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.

Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?

The beginning is always today.

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!

You are my creator, but I am your master; Obey!

I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created.

There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.

Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude.

My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed - my dearest pleasure when free.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.

Because right is right, to follow right Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence.

You feel the weight of the world and you take things in and you are acting out from a place of being pushed and visceral. It's heavy. You can't be there all of the time.

Kundalini is almost a misleading word, unless you define it as broadly as I do.

Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished; it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.

Never give up what you want most for what you want today.

I don't think I write well - just better than anyone else.

Of course, I thought I was badass at sixteen, too. Wait, I was badass at sixteen. Oh, yeah.
