The ruins of time build mansions in eternity.

To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.

In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.

Make your own rules or be a slave to another man's.

And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love.

To be alone is to be free, and freedom was the only happiness accessible to my nature.

Like it or not, liberation for women will be achieved only with the full co-operation of men.

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.

If you're any good at all, you know you can be better.

Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static. Which way a thing changes depends on you.
