If you're gonna be a failure, at least be one at something you enjoy.

There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.

I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip-synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth.

White means the strength of fragility and the fragility of the passage of time.

Illegibility of this world. All things twice over. The strong clocks justify the splitting hour, hoarsely. You , clamped into your deepest part, climb out of yourself for ever.

The carnage upon the chessboard of life, left wounded humans in its wake

Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.
