When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.

We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country…. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. MORE IS GOOD. MORE IS GOOD. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.

Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are.

Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

Life is like a wrestling match- we struggle to fight but we never know that the only side that wins is the one with great love in it.

Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it.

Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another
