“There's no place you can go on the prairie that you don't hear the white noise of the wind, steady and rough as surf curling along a non-existant shore.”

“Sometimes, if you stand very still in the shadows of those places, you can hear songs on the wind, whispers in the trees. That is why I travel.”

“There exists in the world a single path along which no one can go except you: whither does it lead? Do not ask, go along it.”

“You never get enough big surf to tire of it. When the small surf is running, I go skindiving.”

“Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.”

“Sometimes the beauty is easy.
Sometimes you don't have to try at all.
Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake.
Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.”

“I know how it's gonna be when I die. It's going to be no noise, you ain't going to hear people screaming. I'mma fade out.”

“If you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear.”

“Jimi Hendrix once said, 'You will never hear surf music again.' Well, tonight, you will hear 'serf' music again -- S-E-R-F music.”

“You don't want to let go, but don't want to be hurt, either. It's not a great place to be but what can I tell you?”
