I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.

Treat yourself as if you already are enough. Walk as if you are enough. Eat as if you are enough. See, look, listen as if you are enough. Because it's true.

It's never been true, not anywhere at anytime, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale.

Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company

What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now.

Change happens when you understand what you want to change so deeply that there is no reason to do anything but act in your own best interest.

If you pay attention to when you are hungry, what your body wants, what you are eating, when you've had enough, you end the obsession because obsession and awareness cannot coexist.

We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company. And then learn to be more compassionate company, as if you were somebody you are fond of and wish to encourage.

If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend.

It's oneiric, a beautiful, formless sequence of silver nitrate shadows, and when it ends I wonder what happened, and then I begin to rebuild it in my head

A great pickup line is one I don't even notice. It has me connecting with you, laughing, having a good time. And that definitely gets my attention.

Only by art can we get outside ourselves, instead of seeing only one world, our own, we see it under multiple forms.

It's a completely reasonable diet -- heavy on fruits and vegetables and fresh, seasonal foods. I'm totally for it. It's common sense in a nice package.

Everyone is constantly transitioning.

I don't believe in luck. I believe everything happens for a reason.

What do the contours of your body mean, laid out like the lines on a hand, so that I no longer see them except as fate?

Regardless of whether you believe in the Singularity, you will most likely experience the benefits of it. But we don't really know.

I have this really beautiful Martin guitar, and it just kind of writes songs for me.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class I had like 92 people.
