That's what every uncomfortable feeling is for-that's what pain is for, what money is for, what everything in the world is for: your self-realization.

I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it.

If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.

When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.

It's not the darkness that people fear; it's what they imagine into the darkness.

I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.

When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
