The best advice is not to write what you know, it's to write what you like.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.

Usually, when we talk about creativity, it's about self-expression, which is great, but for work to be art or design, there has to be someone on the other end. The audience makes the work come alive.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.

You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

The thing is: It takes a lot of energy to be creative. You don't have that energy if you waste it on other stuff.

Don't worry about doing research. Just search.

You can't find your voice if you don't use it.

Never hate an enemy

I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.

Since inner peace is the source of all happiness, we can see how important meditation is.

Never loan money, you're not reading or willing to give away.

The Dance: A minimum of explanation, a minimum of anecdotes - and a maximum of sensations.

I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.

I never met a man who thought his thinking was faulty.

Rest strengthens the body, the mind too is thus supported; but unremitting toil destroys both.

When we awaken to the beauty of nature, the doors to our true self are opened up wide, for divine healing on all levels.
