“You realize that there's no point in doing anything if nobody's watching.
You wonder, if there had been a low turnout at the crucifixion, would they have rescheduled?”

“At that point I realized that I had been thinking in Russian. It’s a wonderful language for paranoid thoughts.”

“You may have noticed that in most crucifixions the hands point to, say, a quarter to three, or ten till two at the earliest, while the feet are at six. On this watch face, Jesus is on the cross, as you see there, and the arms revolve to indicate the time.”

“Polly saw the point. Would she wish not to have been born? Unhappy as she was, she could not say that. Even when she had wished to die, she had not wished never to have been born. Nobody alive could do that.”

“It had to happen to you, to concentrate your whole life on one point, and then discover that you can do anything except live at that point.”

“It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.”

“If every vampire who said he was at The Crucifixion, was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock…”

“If you despise habits so much, it is because you do not realize that nobody can do without them.”

“To live this life, my friends, you have to have a genuine passion. Nothing artificial. To live this life, to love this life, you have to have a genuine passion. People think Kabir was so wonderful because he was uneducated and yet he said all these wonderful things. Do you think it would have been different had Kabir gone to Yale and Oxford? If so, you missed the point. The point isn't whether he was educated or not, because, in the truest sense, he was very educated. More educated than most people. The point is that passion. Maybe you won't be able to write like Kabir, but you can feel the same passion. Passion is the point. That love is the point. That feeling is the point. That is achievable by everyone sitting in this hall, and in the city of London, and on this planet Earth. That passion. That love. That awakening. That joy.”

“You do realize as you grow older that almost nobody knows what they are talking about.”
