Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.

No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by agreement or by emotional appeal.

Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.

The mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.

Things fall apart, so they can fall together at a higher level of order.

The spiritual quest begins, for most people, as a search for meaning.

The other side of every fear is a freedom.

Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture, the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest.

Risk always brings its own rewards: the exhilaration of breaking through, of getting to the other side; the relief of a conflict healed; the clarity when a paradox dissolves.

Making mental connections is our most crucial learning tool, the essence of human intelligence; to forge links; to go beyond the given; to see patterns, relationships, context.

Our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns.

Life is spiritual breath.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

I should have known the power-hungry slave drivers at River's Edge would see my five days of freedom only as a challenge to be filled.

I'll Stay ...leave ...me. ...I'll ...follow ...you.

I don't create the movies I'm in. When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.

If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.

I actually prefer the silent black and white version of the Wizard Of Oz from the 20's.

Almost all the shows I've been connected with have been extremely well cast. They're playing the show, not just doing the songs.

Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.

Wars are not all evil, they are part of the grand machinery by which this world is governed.
