One's thoughts turn towards Hope.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

To make a perfume, take some rose water and wash your hands in it, then take a lavender flower and rub it with your palms, and you will achieve the desired effect

Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.

All that crap about time being a great healer is bullshit. Time heals nothing. Well, acne maybe.

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.

I hate movies. They're so boring. So tedious.

Non-violence is not a quality to be evolved or expressed to order. It is an inward growth depending for sustenance upon intense individual effort.

Intimacy with God is to be preferred above material wealth.

Sexuality is the key to the problem of the psychoneuroses and of the neuroses in general. No one who disdains the key will ever be able to unlock the door.
