The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves.
I believe I'm one of the loneliest people in the world.
Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.
Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child-like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

The US is to an unusual extent a business-run society, where short-term concerns of profit and market share displace rational planning.
Mars tugs at the human imagination like no other planet. With a force mightier than gravity, it attracts the eye to its shimmering red presence in the clear night sky. It is like a glowing ember in a field of ethereal lights, projecting energy and promise. It inspires visions of an approachable world. The mind vaults to thoughts of what might have been (if Mars were a litter closer to the warming Sun) and of what could be (if humans were one day to plant colonies there).
Be in harmony with the Tao, with the basic principles of creation. To not be in harmony with that flow, no matter how hard you meditate, you will not be happy and you won't be liberated.
The nowadays ruling that no word is unprintable has, I think, done nothing whatever for beautiful letters. . . . Obscenity is too valuable a commodity to chuck around all over the place; it should be taken out of the safe on special occasions only.
