I just do what I want to do without hurting other people and you know, I wish other people would do the same.

Most people are passive aggressive in this world. I have the idea that the human being is born with a kind of reservoir of aggression. We are inherently somewhat aggressive creatures and we either channel that in direct ways or we channel it in indirect ways and become passive aggressive.

Most people have no sense of self-awareness. They're not aware of what they really want. They knew it when they were younger but then as they get older they listened to parents, they listened to peers and they think that, for instance, money is the most important thing when it really isn't.

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.

Many a serious thinker has been produced in prisons, where we have nothing to do but think.

Be brutal with the past, especially your own, and have no respect for the philosophies that are foisted on you from outside.

Understand: you are one of a kind. Your character traits are a kind of chemical mix that will never be repeated in history. There are ideas unique to you, a specific rhythm and perspective that are your strengths, not your weaknesses. You must not be afraid of your uniqueness and you must care less and less what people think of you.
