Stillness is your essential nature.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

Life is a choice. Choose to live and not merely survive.

How much you give is not counted by amount, but by fraction

You should only fall in love with people who will fall in love with you back.

I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy.

I like celluloid, I like film, I like the way that when a movie is projected it sort of breathes a little in the gate. That's the magic of it to me.

I only produce things that have so much in common with what I like. I wanna understand what I'm doing. I wanna understand the instincts that are going to inform the story.

Never give up. And most importantly, be true to yourself. Write from your heart, in your own voice, and about what you believe in.

You have to be careful as a libertarian because you can sound very Republican.

Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
