“Some say I am a good person, some say I am a charlatan — I am just a monk.”
Daily Telegraph interview (2006)
Context: Some say I am a good person, some say I am a charlatan — I am just a monk... I never asked people like Richard Gere to come, but it is foolish to stop them. I have Tibetans, Indians, backpackers, AIDS patients, religious people, politicians, actors and princesses. My attitude is to give everyone some of my time. If I can contribute in any way to their happiness, that makes me happy.
“I am an invisible monster, and I am incapable of loving anybody. You don't know which is worse.”
Variant: I'm an invisible monster. I'm incapable of loving anybody. You don't know which is worse.

Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Fold of the Bards
Context: I am a harmonious one; I am a clear singer.
I am steel; I am a druid.
I am an artificer; I am a scientific one.
I am a serpent; I am love; I will indulge in feasting.
I am not a confused bard drivelling,
When songsters sing a song by memory,
They will not make wonderful cries;
May I be receiving them.
Like receiving clothes without a hand,
Like sinking in a lake without swimming
The stream boldly rises tumultuously in degree.
“I am somebody. I am me. And I don't need anybody to make me somebody.”
