Indeed, of the major religions, Islam offers no discernible sliver of valid notion for How Life Works.

You are the only real authority in your life, but you yield that status to so many externals by believing in them, by having been punished or forced into accepting them.

Because your life is a reflection of your inner Self, causality comes exclusively in changing your own nature, not trying to change the external world out there by manipulating it.

When, and only when, you clearly see the inner roots to an outer condition, can you change them and thus it.

There is no other force, no other determining factor, no external cause to the cohesive unfolding of your life’s episodes – only your composite inner nature. Change that and you change your life.

There is no religion that has a monopoly on bigotry.

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.

I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.

Nobody calls me silly. That is not a word that applies to me.

It's like the mafia. Once you're in - your in. There's no getting out.

Being first is more important to me [than earning money]. I have so much money. Whatever money is, it's just a method of keeping score now. I mean, I certainly don't need more money.

You cannot escape from your past! But you can understand it! And once you understand it, you don't have to escape from it any longer! Understanding liberates you!
