Real happiness is when you are happy for no reason at all; you are simply being.

The quality of our attention determines our experience.

No matter how closely you examine the water, glucose, and electrolyte salts in the human brain, you can't find the point where these molecules became conscious.

Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it's realistic or not.

As human beings we have unlimited potential and imagination. The worst thing you can do is be a conformist and buy into conformity. It's the worst possible thing. It's better to be outrageous.
