You are born with a character; it is given, a gift, as the old stories say, from the guardians upon your birth...Each person enters the world called.

All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world?

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.

Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining.

We can't change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently.

Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path... this is what I must do, this is what I've got to have. This is who I am.

It's important to ask yourself, How am I useful to others? What do people want from me? That may very well reveal what you are here for.

Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it's right here.

To see the angel in the malady requires an eye for the invisible, a certain blinding of one eye and an opening of the other to elsewhere.

Psychology, so dedicated to awakening human consciousness, needs to wake itself up to one of the most ancient human truths: we cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet.

Our life is psychological, and the purpose of life is to make psyche of it, to find connections between life and soul.

Warlord, you once told me I'd always know what you're thinking. What are your thoughts now?""Partly, I'm thinking that I might shame myself in my trews, just from the feel of you next to me.

There are generations yet unborn, whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take.

People are more interested in someone who goes on stage and tells the truth.

Reality is never a golden age.

Women alone always order sole. It means something.

More than an institution, more than a tradition, more than a society, Masonry is one of the forms of Divine life upon earth.

Madonna is the speedboat, and the rest of us are just the Go-Gos on water skis.

If you want meaning, you read poetry or a novel or something, you don't read song lyrics. You're supposed to listen to them with music.

I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind.

When there are no lyrics there are many parts of the imagination that can fill in the meanings of the music, so I strongly believe that it can be more powerful at times.
