Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Visions of McDonald's restaurants dotting crossroads all over the country paraded through my brain. I don't believe in saturation. We're thinking and talking worldwide.

Octavia Butler, of course, is brilliant and disturbing.

The children of Israel in the wilderness, led by a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night.

That I want to try in life? There's a lot of things I want to try. There's never enough time to try anything. I would love to have a hobby. I have no hobbies.
