We make the path by walking.

To be wild is not to be crazy or psychotic. True wildness is a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown.

... where a man's wound is, that is where his genius will be.

We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees, Trees that start again.

The door to the soul is unlocked; you do not need to please the doorkeeper, the door in front of you is yours, intended for you, and the doorkeeper obeys when spoken to.

Every part of you that you do not love will regress and become hostile towards you.

There are a lot of men who are healthier at age fifty then they have ever been before, because a lot of their fear is gone.

Every noon as the clock hands arrive at twelve, I want to tie the two arms together, And walk out of the bank carrying time in bags.

There is no question we are having a difficult time rounding up the votes.

I'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside.

I'm starting to like muggers more than congressmen. At least the muggers don't claim they're doing you a favor.

I enjoyed being anonymous.
