I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep!

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

There is no beauty without some strangeness

All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.

The believer is happy. The doubter is wise.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.

And so, being young and dipt in folly, I fell in love with melancholy.

I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind.

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

You are the completeness of my incompleteness.

You don't need an entire garden bed, to notice the beauty of a flower.

There is scarcely any passion without struggle.

If you can eat 70 percent raw or introduce raw into your diet, it will help your health

Although I behave in a quite reserved way in my personal life, give me a stage and I'll be as flamboyant as I can.

I try to conceal art with art.

Take the selfishness out of this world and there would be more happiness than we should know what to do with.

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die. You've gotta get up and try, try, try.

I don't think that moms, with all that's going on in our society today, would want to put their kids in front of something that will be disheartening rather than uplifting.

Life's short, so if you're going to spend months doing something, it's gotta be pretty special... But I'm very happy to enter my Baby Jane years, and hopefully segue into the Ruth Gordon years.
