I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

We were together. I forget the rest.

Either define the moment or the moment will define you.

Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.

Be curious, not judgmental.

Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.

When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.

I am obsessed with reading and writing.

I think it's much more important to keep people in work than have pay rises.

I read somewhere that drummers are practically Olympic athletes. I feel pretty good, most of the time. After 38 years, I can't expect much better than that!

I am a better writer for having fewer demons, and I am more curious about the world and the people in it. So those of you thinking you might need your demons in order to be creative: I beg to differ.
