When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.

As far as intellect, what else is there? Without intellect, no story and no world.

Mind is infinitely creative. And when it's not stuck, that's where the joy comes from. Something happens, and the way we think about it, understand it, see it, is actually hilarious, whereas before it used to depress us.

I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.

Reality is always the story of a past, and what I love about the past is—it's over.

When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.

If I think that someone else is causing my problem, I'm insane.
