Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.

I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, "You're famous" and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.

I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.

You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.
