Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.

I have two main hair people I work with. They’re always with me. I’m like, ‚I’m bored! I wanna change my hair!‘ That’s the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.

I don’t go around thinking I’m Ray Bradbury all the time.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.

I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn’t that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.

It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.

Everyone has at least one story, and each of us is funny if we admit it. You have to admit you’re the funniest person you’ve ever heard of.

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass.

That’s the biggest gift I can give anybody: ‚Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you’re doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.‘

Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.

Hollywood is not suited for me, and I am not suited for it.

The fact is I am not having sex. But I feel absolutely ripe for the, what would you say? plucking?

The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.

Education is the best provision for old age.

I sometimes ask people, ‚Can you be aware of your own presence? Not the thoughts that you’re having, not the emotions that you’re having, but the very presence of your very being?‘ You become aware of your own presence by sensing the entire energy field in your body that is alive. And that is the totality of your presence.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

What it’s like to be me? You know, it’s good to be me. My life is good.

Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.

If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.

All diseases run into one, old age.

This above all; to thine own self be true.

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

I’m very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn’t choose.

That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.

We identify in our experience a differentiation between what we do and what happens to us.

At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.

It’s normal for human beings to identify with their own separate self. The problem is that we get caught in that notion of ourself as a separate individual and caught in that individual self’s agenda.

There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.

With people of limited ability modesty is merely honesty. But with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy.

In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.

My purpose is to help people look at themselves and begin to shift their concepts. Remember, we are not our country, our race, or religion. We are eternal spirits. Seeing ourselves as spiritual beings without label is a way to transform the world and reach a sacred place for all of humanity.

I’ve seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are.

I’m 31 now. I think I’m beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.

You’re not going to say anything about me that I’m not going to say about myself. There’s so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I’m going to say it before they can. It’s the best policy for me.

When you are young, you cannot imagine being disabled. You imagine you would conquer it somehow. As I’ve got older, I can imagine it; I can see how life narrows in. I feel compassion for my mother now.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

A fanatic is a man who consciously over compensates a secret doubt.

No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest. The majestic crowns approaching one another make a glorious canopy, through the feathery arches of which the sunbeams pour, silvering the needles and gilding the stately columns and the ground into a scene of enchantment.

Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.

I don’t think I’m such an amazing person who needs to be written about.

I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.

Adventuring can be for the ordinary person with ordinary qualities, such as I regard myself.

I don’t look at myself as a commodity, but I’m sure a lot of people have.

This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

I have the problems of, I must confess, old age.

The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

It is the superfluous things for which men sweat, – superfluous things that wear our togas theadbare, that force us to grow old in camp, that dash us upon foreign shores.

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.

Young people can create beautiful things.
