“Dreams are deformed reflections of ourselves - less stable and more ungraspable than we are, upon which we in our turn assume the right to reflect upon and to determine.”
“It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover.”

“Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.”
“I think there was always that question mark of why am I not in St. Louis anymore? I think everybody had those questions and probably had those perceptions of me.”
“Don't let pain keep you out of the garden”
“I meditate for the last time on this mountain that is bare, though others all around are white with snow. Like the bare peak of the koan, this one is not different from myself. I know this mountain because I am this mountain, I can feel it breathing at this moment, as its grass tops stray against the snows. If the snow leopard should leap from the rock above and manifest itself before me - S-A-A-O! - then in that moment of pure fright, out of my wits, I might truly perceive it, and be free.”
“The best thing about conceptual poetry is that it doesnâ€™t need to be read. You donâ€™t have to read it. As a matter of fact, you can write books, and you donâ€™t even have to read them. My books, for example, are unreadable. All you need to know is the concept behind them. Hereâ€™s every word I spoke for a week. Hereâ€™s a yearâ€™s worth of weather reports... and without ever having to read these things, you understand them.”

“Sometimes, love feels like a life or death situation. Losing true love is pretty much as bad as it gets, other than actually dying or losing good health. Most people know that. Most people can relate. It's like the end of the world.”
