Love whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

The world can never own a man who wants nothing.

... the person you think you are is nothing but a complicated script you spend most of your energy on.

When he was dry, he believed it was alcohol he needed, but when he had a few drinks in him, he knew it was something else, possibly a woman; and when he had it all -- cash, booze, and a wife -- he couldn't be distracted from the great emptiness that was always falling through him and never hit the ground.

The beauty of a thing is in your awareness of it. Truth, beauty, love, it exists within the ineffable interior of your own being.

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

The universe wants to remember itself through you.

Love is the space in which death happens.

Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.

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.

The reason you don’t fit in—and never have—is because none of this is real. It is an holographic illusion, a physical manifestation played by your consciousness. Yet here you are. You touch your skin, breathe the air, dream your dreams and desire more than this world can give you—and think that’s real living. But none of it is real. The point was never to move in furniture, decorate and get comfortable. The point was to awaken.
