Well, for one thing, in the tradition of Zen that I've practiced, there is no prayerful worship and there is no affirmation of a deity.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

May you be surrounded by friends and family, and if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.

You live your life as if it's real.......a thousand kisses deep

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

God has something great in you that can take you very far in life if you consistently push hard and long enough, despite your fears and doubts.

Good leaders are intelligent

Beauty is less important than quality.

He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.

I find myself in a new and strange position here: President, cabinet, Gen. Scott, and all deferring to me. By some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land.

If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?

It's through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we've always mapped our path at Dell. There's always an opportunity to make a difference.

Sunsets are my escape into the reality I want to continuously live.

I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow; I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.

There's at least a hundred times more people with great ideas than people that are willing to put in the effort to execute them well.
