“If you know that "I", in the sense of the person, the front, the ego, it really doesn't exist. Then…it won't go to your head too badly, if you wake up and discover that you're God.”

“If you don't know where you're going, you won't go anywhere.”

“If you want to do good research, it's important not to know too much. This almost sounds contradictory but really if you know too much and you get an idea, you will sort of talk yourself out of trying it because you figure it won't work. But if you know just the right amount and you get enthusiastic about your project, you go ahead, you do it and if you're lucky things'll work out.”

“True love, to me, is when she's the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep.”

“If you wake up feeling no pain, you know you're dead. (Russian expression)”

“The Russians aren't dedicated world dominationists. You know, they just sort of want it on account of a sentimental way, you know, but not like 'By God, we got to have it!' It just doesn't make sense for them to really push too hard, you know, but just to push easy.”

“Is it really a sport if you have all the equipment and your opponent doesn't know a game is going on?”

“I know that what you call 'God' really exists, but not in the form you think; God is primal cosmic energy, the love in your body, your integrity, and your perception of the nature in you and outside of you.”

“Don't tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won't respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, 'Melissa, you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.”

“If there is a devil, then there is no doubt that God really exists too. Otherwise, he won't be here in the first place.”
