I want to be ripped apart by music.

Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.

If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves

Love, anger, depression, joy and dreams. ...And Zeppelin. Totally.

When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.

There's the moon asking to stay long enough for the clouds to fly me away

Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

All dark and comfortless.

My mother belonged to that group of low IQ individuals who find everything alarming and believe that raising your voice is the most effective form of communication.

I'm proud of my sexuality.

The young are heated by Nature as drunken men by wine.

History, having destroyed the religion as the opium of the people, now requires that they be given a taste of the real stuff.

Teaching, real teaching, is - or ought to be - a messy business.

I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.

Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.

It's better to build than to buy if you can find the right people.

Face your fear Accept your war it is what it is.
