When, and only when, you clearly see the inner roots to an outer condition, can you change them and thus it.

Indeed, of the major religions, Islam offers no discernible sliver of valid notion for How Life Works.

You are the only real authority in your life, but you yield that status to so many externals by believing in them, by having been punished or forced into accepting them.

Because your life is a reflection of your inner Self, causality comes exclusively in changing your own nature, not trying to change the external world out there by manipulating it.

There is no other force, no other determining factor, no external cause to the cohesive unfolding of your life’s episodes – only your composite inner nature. Change that and you change your life.

Vocal cords are not rental units. No Hebrew prophet, nor Mohammed, nor any founder of any cult or religion ever spoke the words of anybody but themselves.

Beliefs and definitions never clarify how Reality works -- they only distort perception of it.

Reality, in its essence, consists not of particles interacting pointlessly in anindependent physical plane, but rather of values, psychological elements ofmind, made real.

Write from your heart, write with blood and courage.

You couldn't not notice the bruise on the side of her face. Or the hickey under her chin.

Patriotism is racism for the modern era.

Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind.

I can no longer face life, so I've decided to go through the rest of it backwards.

To make even fewer friends try talking about politics as much as you talk about yourself.

Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer's day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented.

A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.

If I think something's funny, I think it's funny.

If you're going to write something, that's going to be read by people, a lot of people, you hope it will not only entertain them but maybe do them some good in some way.
