Some of my best friedns are children. In fact, all of my best friends are children.

I mean it's very hard to meditate and live a spiritual life in America. People think you're a freak if you try to.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

Do you know what I was smiling at? You wrote down that you were a writer by profession. It sounded to me like the loveliest euphemism I had ever heard. When was writing ever your profession? It's never been anything but your religion.

When I really worry about something, I don’t just fool around. I even have to go to the bathroom when I worry about something. Only, I don’t go. I’m too worried to go. I don’t want to interrupt my worrying to go.

Take most people, they are crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, they are always talking about have many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that is even newer. I do not even like old cars. . . . I'd rather have a horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
