Everything about it was wrong. Thats why it worked so good.

I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what I’m doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say ‘ok, here I am, I’m going to experience the pain,’ you don’t suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.

No matter how beautiful the outside may be, the inside still has feelings and needs that just words don't fulfill.

... I started to die 36 hours before I was born, so dying was a way of life for me.

I have to have a meaning in my life. If I roam around without some meaning in my life, I'm in deep and serious trouble. I can't, I just can't exist.

My writing is inspired by just about everything, yet I am unaware of so much of the process.

The responsibility of the artist is to transcend the human ego.
