“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea, How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”

“The more you love, the more you suffer”

“It takes courage… to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.”

“My head is bursting
with the joy of the unknown.
My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
Every cell,
taking wings,
flies about the world.
All seek separately
the many faces of my Beloved.”

“The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.”

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

“As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can't see how it is.”

“Half the time you think your thinking you’re actually listening”

“I think that people don't understand. As the Firesign Theater used to say, 'Everything you know is wrong.' But that is a very liberating understanding, because if everything you know is wrong, then all the problems you thought were insoluble can be framed differently.”

“If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan.”

“The problem is not to find the answer, it's to face the answer”

“There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.”

“There's a whole category of people who miss out by not allowing themselves to be weird enough.”

“Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.”

“My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.”

“When we risk nothing, we risk everything. Everything we intended to do. Everything we came here to be.”

“Become your own soulmate, first. The love you're waiting on someone else to give you is a desire to know yourself. It is projection of wanting to see yourself more kindly, through your someone else's eyes. The very way you most long to be loved is the way you need to love yourself to see your own potential, to care for yourself, to hear the sound of your own approval, to build a life you are proud of. Until you are your own soulmate, you will be left asking others to fill needs they were never meant to meet.”
