Everything good I've ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up.

A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.

Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.

Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.

From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.
