Meditation is the movement of love. It isn't the love of the one or of the many. It is like water that anyone can drink out of any jar.

Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.

It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

A new commandment I give unto you That ye love one another as I have loved you that ye also love one another.

The true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was George Gamow's 'One Two Three ... Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science.'

I initially studied literature [in France], and then I went to cinema school. I discovered the Cinematheque, and saw not only action movies and westerns, but also lots of serious movies.

Think of the most amazing thing you could possibly do with your life. Then say out loud, 'YES.'

Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you're trying to escape?

Home is the dearest spot on earth, and it should be the centre, but not the boundary, of the affections.

We are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary.
