It's better to be dead, or even perfectly well, than to suffer from the wrong affliction. The man who owns up to arthritis in a beri-beri year is as lonely as a woman in a last month's dress.

I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life: It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.

Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.

People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better.

As you will find in multivariable calculus, there is often a number of solutions for any given problem.

Rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos.

Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.

In a dream it's typical not to be rational.

In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.

There are things that tend to moderate with age. Schizophrenia is somewhat like that.

To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives.

The only problem is time.

The way to worry about nothing is to pray about everything.

Injustice coupled with racism is a highly explosive mixture, in which the world, threatens to suffocate.

I think laughter may be a form of courage.... As humans we sometimes stand tall and look into the sun and laugh and I think we are never more brave than when we do that.

If you maintain a healthy diet, or at least are smart about your food choices, you'll still see the pounds come off.

My gym has two-pound weights. If you're using two-pound weights, how did you even open the door to the gym? What's your dream? To pump up and open your mail?

Of all aspects of social misery nothing is so heartbreaking as unemployment.

The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.

My Umi said shine your light on the world, shine your light for the world to see

My lyrics are my diary - you're hearing every detail of my life.
