I do a lot of reflection. I do. I spend a lot of time in reflection and contemplation. I guess the way the old mystics used to do. I don't do meditation. That's not for me. It's not my thing.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

Life Consists Of Many Things But You Have To Do One Thing... And That Thing Is Living For God.Remember You Cant Do Many Things At Once.

We are to renounce the evil influence of the world, the flesh, and the devil. There can be no parleying, bargaining, compromise, or hesitation. Christ demands total loyalty.

I was flying right toward him (the pig) at the speed of demigod-smashing.

On n'e chappe pas a' son sort. One cannot escape destiny.

Nothing human surprises me.

The more I learn about the evolution of ideas, the more I have become aware that I am simply an unrepentant Old Whig-with the stress on the "old.

On my best day, I am a seven-point-seven. I could be a hard eight if I felt great. If I went on a good run and had on my best pair of jeans, I could feel right on the money.

Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

My aesthetic is derived from my point of view which is one of optimism and hope. The camera became a conduit for my need to create a more beautiful world around me.

I don't hate my enemies. After all, I made 'em.
