Happiness is a choice I am making now. Once we understand that and find love consciousness, we learn that this place of internal plenitude needs nothing.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

Love is very light, very joyful, very simple and innocent.

By focusing on love and cultivating an internal security, we can start to take the steps in our lives to create profound change.

When we learn to focus on love, grace, and gratitude, life is really quite lovely.

Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this.

I lost everything. When I was 28 years old, I lost my home, my job, my partner. I had many people die in my life. I felt like a total victim.

When we start to heal and perceive what I call love consciousness, we begin to perceive reality.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.

We're like little puppies chasing our tails. We realize we're never getting what we want and then realize we need to do something a bit more profound.

What is heroic is not making life any harder that it has to be.

He had a nice smile. Seeing it, I felt like I’d won a prize, because he was so sparing with them.

I'm easily entertained.

Betterment of conditions the world over is not essentially dependent on scientific knowledge but on the fulfillment of human traditions and ideals.

I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, "Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again"

I don't want it all to be pretty - it's a combination of loss and gain. Things are born, live and hang in limbo. That's what life's about.

I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.

Social media is the new way to communicate, the new way to show your work. You don't have to rely on stuffy, traditional, and conservative methods to be able to display your work.

Too often we tell kids pleasant stories devoid of truth, and stories without truth are not good stories. Our audience deserves more from us.
