It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

How sure I feel, how warm and strong and happy For the future! How sure the future is within me; I am like a seed with a perfect flower enclosed.

Friends are like fiddle strings; they must not be screwed too tight.
