Psychology, so dedicated to awakening human consciousness, needs to wake itself up to one of the most ancient human truths: we cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet.

All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world?

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.

Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining.

Our life is psychological, and the purpose of life is to make psyche of it, to find connections between life and soul.

Open your heart, your gaze, to the visitations of angels, even if the gifts they bring may not be centeredness and balance but eccentricity and a wholly unfamiliar sense of pleasure called joy.

Logic only tells us what's there

Writing is beautiful, like putting on a gold suit and going to sleep in it.

The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity.

I would like to have seen my sons growing up.

The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.

I was born 10 years old.

The fate of the nation and the fate of the currency are one and the same.

[Margaret Thatcher] scorned and despised other women, and predicated her values entirely on the values of her father, a small town shopkeeper.

I think I'm pretty misunderstood, because I'm not just about football.
