Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

Our noblest purpose in life is to remember our spiritual nature in the face of suggestions that we are a material society.

You empower what you fight.You withdraw power from what you release.

If you desire to know where your spiritual work lies, look to your emotional pain.

The freest people I know are those who have the least to hide, defend or protect. Naked is powerful.

I love the balls-to-the-walls rule-breaking approach the Beatles had in the studio (which I emulate), although I don't try to make my songs "sound" like their songs. But every time I crank a knob of some piece of equipment, or plug an instrument into the "wrong" amp/effect, I am channeling the Beatles.

You won't be happy anywhere until you're happy somewhere.
