There is something in me-I just can't stand to admit defeat.

I really do believe I can accomplish a great deal with a big grin, I know some people find that disconcerting, but that doesn't matter.

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.

My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.

I can't be happy every day but I can be cheerful.

Attachment to spiritual things is... just as much an attachment as inordinate love of anything else.

I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up.
