[Buckminster Fuller] would pretend to be deaf at the right times.

I could do Superman, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, this kind of stuff [at school]. And kids would give me their lunch money to have these things.

My father knew all about this stuff [C.W. Leadbeater]. I owe a lot of what I'm doing, I think, to him. I'm sort of continuing my father's work.

A real yogin...does not see the difference between a lump of dirt and a lump of gold

The dance of darkness must spout blood into the air, in the name of the experience of evil

Avoidance of sin is lighter than the pain of remorse.

I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.
