Mind and body have taken the journey, but the real home place is your own heart. It is infinite and so wherever you go, you are always Home.

Don't remind the world that it is sick and troubled. Remind it that it is beautiful and free.

No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.

At the end of the day, you can have something in your head, something in your hand, or something in your heart. What are you choosing?

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

Who reminds you to breathe and to beat your heart? Something is there, taking care.

The greatest healing would be to wake up from what we are not.

You need nothing to be happy - you need something to be sad.

If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.

I didn't lose anyone, for everyone that I lost was never really a loss, unless it was death well then I had to have words with God.

Maybe magic wasn’t the magic thing, when you grew up with it

I think one of the things that distinguished my work from the beginning when I was in college was my turning towards poetry from other countries.

I believe in saying the truth, coming out with it cold, shocking if necessary, not disguising it.

However, the moral center of New York City, I believe, is the New York City Ballet.

I don't have a problem with drugs, I have a problem with policemen.

Oh, and just so you know, before we go out to the field we all get into a huddle and yell 'Go Queers!' really loud.

My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.

Faith is the soul going out of itself for all its wants.

To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.
