“Our riches, being in our brains, die with us... Unless of course someone chops off our head, in which case, we won't need them anyway.”
“I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.”
“I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.”
“Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers. Feel motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything. Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off and we become increasingly passive.”
“I should have been a much better artist if I could have studied more and amused myself less.”
“Everyone moves for reason. You need a reason to leave everything behind.”
“Beneficent spirals, operating by benign feedback, mean that everything needful is not required at once: each individual improvement is beneficial for the whole”
“I'm not going to look back. 'Don't look back, something might be gaining on you.' I don't have anything specific in mind. I want to do what comes my way. No plans, no idea, I believe in things happening organically. Right now the plan is to wrap things up - we've got one more Abbie Hoffman Fest to put together - whatever happens after that is unknown. I'm not going to push anything beyond passive behavior.”
