The desert surrounds your every step and you walk forever a thirsty man.

Enjoy your life. No curse hangs over you, nor did it ever. No devil chases after your soul. Sing and dance and be merry.

The hourglass runs low.

A true teacher would never tell you what to do. But he would give you the knowledge with which you could decide what would be best for you to do.

You will see that the things you desire most are the very things that bring you the greatest sorrow.

Death never comes at the right time, despite what mortals believe. Death always comes like a thief.

What you wish for, what you most hope for - that is your greatest illusion.

Sleep is not on good terms with broken hearts. It will have nothing to do with them.

You search endlessly for permanent happiness in a world where nothing is permanent.

It doesn't matter. You are what you are. I am what I am. We are the same-when you take the time to remember me.

Anger and embarrassment are often neighbors.

Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest, it is beautiful. If it is not honest, it is obvious.

Socialisms not a word that I use. I say social democracy because I dont think the government needs to own all the means of production.

I really want to keep on opening doors for myself, and others who want to come in.

[C]apitalism without financial failure is not capitalism at all, but a kind of socialism for the rich.

My hope is to never act again and just do press.
