Without understanding the process of the self, there is no bais for thought, there is no basis for right thinking.

Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.

It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.

A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.

Rest assured you make perfectly good nonsense.  I understand you one-hundred-percent not at all.

A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the bottom of a turntable.

I regard food as fuel. I am not a brunch person.

The best of the sport is to doe the deede, and say nothing.

One of the things that has always been my undoing in politics is my readiness to do whatever job has to be done.

I have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.

When I went to Africa I think that was when I really found a way to deal with what I had recently discovered; in two-dimensional terms, at least.

That I would rather be in another business where a bad cold wouldn't put me out of work.

I did my own thinking. I have never given it out to be done by others as one gives out washing.
