It’s a very human thing to say ‘Well, is it this or is it that? Is it a planet is it not a planet? Is it… less filling or is it great taste? Is it… gum or is it candy?’ These are sort of false dichotomies, something can be both, but our language forces us to require that it fit into one word or another. What we’re not recognizing is that it’s not a fault of the object or the concept, it’s a defect in our language. And if our thoughts follow language we have trouble thinking of things that fit in more than one category. I think that’s the source of most human ailments in the world, cultural ailments. ‘Are you gay or are you not gay? Are you black or are you not- are you this or are you that? Are you [male] or are you female? And it’s like, chill out! Just let- let things be what they are. Allow there to be a spectrum in all that you see.

Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.

Of course we have to use words and thoughts. They have their own beauty–but do we need to become imprisoned in them?

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.

Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. then your love would also change.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Remain true to yourself…If you know your own heart, you will always have one friend who does not lie.

There are two reasons why people don’t talk about things; either it doesn’t mean anything to them, or it means everything.
