"I’m sort of OK as long as I sit perfectly still on the couch here. Like how you don’t realize how drunk you are until you step off the bar stool, the real trouble starts when I try to get up and do anything."

"How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter."

"I didn’t know what to say. I felt like crying, Goddamit everybody in the world wants an explanation for your acts and for your very being."

"When someone tells you, “I love you,” and then you feel, “Oh, I must be worthy after all,” that’s an illusion. That’s not true. Or someone says, “I hate you,” and you think, “Oh, God, I knew it; I’m not very worthy,” that’s not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, “I love you,” he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, “I hate you,” she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views—literally."

"Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness."

"We are told “no,” we’re unimportant, we’re peripheral. “Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.” And then you’re a player, you don’t want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."

"If you stumble make it part of the dance"

"I have two wardrobes… One is black, the other white. The black one is very severe and masculine. But my whites are delicate dresses and lightweight skirts. I like to mix them. I have a busy mind and color distracts me- with monochrome i feel, secure."
