Let nothing human be considered sacred. Let nothing human be considered divine.
~ Marty Rubin
Beware of puny two-legged creatures claiming to be made in the image of God.
The technological revolution seems to have no higher purpose than to render humanity obsolete.
No work is so important you have to do it.
My feeling about work is that it's an unnecessary evil, so I've always done my best to avoid it.
To avoid starvation is the only excuse for working.
If your work is stressful, it's not your work.
We need places to scream and run wild as well as places to be quiet.
The sight of a worm excites my reverence more than all the gods men have invented.
The true order is what the wind creates by scattering the leaves.
Even the faded flower denies nothingness.
There are 200,000 species of fly alone. So the void, the emptiness, must be in you.
Dance is the art closest to nature.
The snow in winter, the flowers in spring. There is no deeper reality.
Nature is impulsive. To be impulsive is to be fully alive.
One should show one's scars, not hide them.
Obsession is the evil genie who turns pleasure into pain.
The person with an itch can't understand why everyone's not scratching.
The pain you hide leaves the deepest scars.
There is music you never hear unless you play it yourself.
There is music the moment you start listening.
The way to my heart is through your heart.
A heart grows flat and stale from too much thinking.
To keep a warm heart in a cold world is the real victory.
Where our attention goes, our mind and body go, too.
Movement is the freedom of the body; stillness, of the mind.
The seductive power of sex and money is nothing compared to that of words.
To be saved is to believe in one's own courage.
One needs confidence in the morning and courage at night.
You need fire, conviction, to write. You can't write out of indifference.
What chance does logic have against a glass of wine and a kiss?
Real dishes break. That's how you know they're real.
The landscape looks different from every blade of grass.
Lies have always been easier to invent than reality.
We all live partially in reality and partially in a world of make-believe.
All our prayers can't keep a single leaf from falling.
This may not be the best of all possible worlds, but it's the only real one.
Logic can't explain the salmon swimming upstream. So it denies the existence of salmon.
In spring, the snow must go; in fall, the leaves can't stay.
Expectations have no effect on the harvest.
