One, what would happen if everyone did this thing? Two, would this help or hinder the movement toward universal ultimate complexity?

but there's no nation uncorrupted. there's no system that's immune to the misuse of money.

The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering.

Let me explain something to you. Look around here. How many people do you count? Sixty, eighty, eighty people? Greeks, Germans, Italians, French, Americans. Tourists from everywhere. Eating, drinking, talking, laughing. And from Bombay - Indians and Iranians and Afghans and Arabs and Africans. But how many of these people have real power, real destiny, real dynamic for their place, and their time, and the lives of thousand of people? I will tell you - four. Four people in this room with power, and the rest are like the rest of the people everywhere: powerless, sleepers in the dream.

When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.

If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.

I don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.
