It seems to me at this moment that laughing is a serious thing, that it connects us with truth and love and God.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Given the eclectic and constantly shifting nature of my metaphysical inclinations, I will probably never feel certain exactly what an angel is.

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

Every day brings new choices.

Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.

The problem with promises is that you've made one, it's bound to be broken.

All writing is garbage. People who come out of nowhere to try and put into words any part of what goes on in their minds are pigs.

A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results.

Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.

People always write on my Facebook that they've seen somebody they thought was me on the subway, and I was cursing badly.

I do have a residual belief that, if at all possible, you should try not to mock the weak.

It is my firm faith that man is by nature going higher.

Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.

You could do with losing a little bit of weight.
