So I went to New York City to be born again. It was and remains easy for most Americans to go somewhere else and start anew. I wasn't like my parents. I didn't have any supposedly sacred piece of land or shoals of friends to leave behind. Nowhere has the number zero been of more philisophical value than in the United States.... and when the [train] plunged into a tunnel under New York City, with it's lining of pipes and wires, I was out of the womb and into the birth canal.

Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.

What's going to happen is, very soon, we're going to run out of petroleum, and everything depends on petroleum. And there go the school buses. There go the fire engines. The food trucks will come to a halt. This is the end of the world.

I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, "Please - a little less love, and a little more common decency."

We're here on Earth to fart around

You want to know something? We are still in the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages--they haven't ended yet.

The highest treason in the USA is to say Americans are not loved, no matter where they are, no matter what they are doing there.
