There is great freedom in simplicity of living.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.

Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.

Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.

The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.

Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, nor more occasion for war.

When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens.

A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.

Live according to your highest light and more light will be given.

Why break the heart that never beat from love?

And so I've written everything down, too afraid of my demons and what they may say, the doubt that eats at me from the inside. Too afraid that I'll forget and it'll all be a madwoman's dream.

It's witchcraft with all the crusts cut off, and real witchcraft is ALL crusts.

I'm a very physical person. I'm very tactile. I wrestled in college, so a lot of my communication with the world comes through physicality - what I take in and what I put out there.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

My advice for anyone who wants to follow in my footsteps: create your own path, hone your talent, be ready to show your talent, and don't doubt yourself.

The New York Quarterly is an amazing, intelligent, crazy, creative, strange, and indispensable magazine.

A little insomnia is not without its value in making us appreciate sleep, in throwing a ray of light upon that darkness.

Saw Torres play their first New York show tonight at Cake Shop. SO good. Do yourself a favor and check out her record. Her voice is KILLER.

I wish for many reasons flying had never been invented.
