Even if it doesn't work, there is something healthy and invigorating about direct action

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

We are swimming on the face of time and all else has drowned, is drowning, or will drown.

The practice of any art demands more than 'mere savoir faire'. One must not only be in love with what one does, one must also know how to make love. In love self is obliterated. Only the beloved counts.

We have been educated to such a fine - or dull - point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.

A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.
