Nothing by Chance: A Gypsy Pilot's Adventures in Modern America (1969)
Contexte: Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, we may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.

“Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.”
Source: Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970)
Contexte: If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?

Contexte: The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings. How easy to chase after settings, and forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?
“You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die.”
There's No Such Place As Far Away (1978)
Contexte: You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die. You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.
