Be careful going in search of adventure - it's ridiculously easy to find.

Somewhere lives a bad Cajun cook, just as somewhere must live one last ivory-billed woodpecker. For me, I don't expect ever to encounter either one.

Instead of insight, maybe all a man gets is strength to wander for a while.

The American dream has now morphed into an expectation. And if it isn't provided, or if it doesn't happen, then people feel cheated.

The Buddha is not a person but a (state of) realization to which anyone can attain.
