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.

One hundred and ten years from now no one who is here now will be alive.

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.

Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.

Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.

The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

Once you learn how to die you learn how to live.
