I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill
The optimist regards the future as uncertain.
The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve.
It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.
Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not.
The unreasonable efficiency of mathematics in science is a gift we neither understand nor deserve.
When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness came to the fore again. It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.
I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.
I would rather die than ever see you suffering this way. I don't want you or any child I ever have or any woman I ever love to go through or feel what you're going through, but it's happened and I don't know what to do.

I remember reading a book that was on songwriting at some point that I found in my dad's store, and just. . . I did not relate at all. I've always hated structure of all kinds, it just doesn't work for me. I can never fit into the schedules of other people. It's like putting a schedule on your song, and it doesn't allow you to be moved by your own music.
