It's the bringing together of knowledge and wisdom that is a great part - perhaps the greatest part - of our life's journey.

The heart, like the grape, is prone to delivering its harvest in the same moment it appears to be crushed.

The body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.

If you allow yourself to fully feel the life you're in - not conceptually, but viscerally in the present moment - then that is inherently meaningful.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.

We have all had serendipitous moments - the most unlikely meetings out of nowhere - that can happen when we have this quality of deep acceptance towards ourselves.

Day by day, tiny specks of us float away.

To keep faith with life is to experience that everything- everything that comes to us whatever it is- has its place in the puzzle of our existence.

I certainly spent many years in my early life chasing all over the globe for meaning and purpose. I'd feel like I'd found it, then it would fade away again.

Science tells us that love not only diminishes the experience of physical pain but can make us—and our beloveds—healthier.

Yo Mama’s so ugly that your father takes her to work with him so that he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye.

If you stay ready, there's no need to get ready when an opportunity presents itself.

...summer softens lines that winter cruelly shows...

I read somewhere that every life is the story of a single mistake, and then what happens after.

You should never wear a baseball cap when working in close quarters in the attic: You never see that beam above you!

I'm much more of a realist. I'm really practical. I'm the kind of person that calls my business manager and says, OK, if it were all to end today, how many months do I have to live?

It's odd but even when I was a kid, I would write about 'old and other times' as though I had a lot of years behind me. Now I do, so there is a difference in the weight of memory.

You flip through it and say, 'I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that. It is You placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy.

The field (of filmmaking) is suddenly sexy, ... so it's deluged with these wannabes who say 'I don't want to be a secret agent, I'll be a filmmaker.' I think a lot of people are really kind of naive.
