The world isn't what I've believed it to be, and I am not what I believed me to be, and neither is anyone.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.

Don't let your teeth make you lose respect by permanently keeping them opened for the sake of being friendly.

I Want you to know one thing, I will always be true to you, and I will always say to you, I love you.

Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion! What feminism does not need, it seems to me, is an endless recycling of Doris Day Fifties clichés about noble womanhood.

Giving back is the new luxury.

Go, little booke! go, my little tragedie!

A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful.

I respect everything I make fun of.

It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.

It's great to do small plays in the theatre and then go off with Blur and play in front of thousands of people.
