To have been where you have beenAnd to still have joy, Dazzling in your heart, Now there’s a thing to make the whole world smile.

Be content to love, to dazzle in the light, If only for moments… And then be gone, With gladness in your heart, Before the creeping shadows Claim too much your sadness at leaving.

Ours was such a delicious risk. My being abruptly and altogether Ecstatic and be-stilled.

On the canvas of life, Every sweep of the brush matters, Counts for something.

Sense how Even the smooth stones ache With stories of their own In the shuddering light of day.

The searing light of morning Asks unwelcome questions, Fragile hopes soon blistered by daylight.

Be brave enough to never yearn For that you cannot hold close In your heart forever. Tread lightly, cherish compassion And live in the moment without fear.

Ultimately not one amongst us Will ever be denied that, The glimmer of a chance to shine.

I am sad, like the hot dust on the streets And the music of fresh fallen leaves Caught in a sliding summer breeze.

Sublime moments refracted, Even if only for seconds, Caught forever in your soul.

Nothing that truly matters Can ever evaporate, Be excised, Burnt out of your soul.

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers.

I don't know about other people, but when I wake up in the morning and put my shoes on, I think, Jesus Christ, now what?

The true purpose of life is the perfection of humanity through individual effort, under the guidance of God's inspiration.

When you do not like human beings, you cannot make good portraits.

Not what the mind sees, but what the mind imagines the eye must see.

Nobody ever lies about being lonely.

If there are two persons praying, there are three. If three meet to pray, there are four praying. There is always one more than you can see.

It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.

I enjoyed breaking down my matches, because wrestling fans really like to know what I'm actually thinking, and why certain things needed to happen at a certain time.
