“I was always more interested in story songs, things with a point of view... and things that informed me.”
“Your Self, Aware Presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is pure freedom. Causeless joy, imperturbable peace, love that knows no opposite and freedom at the heart of all experience....this is your ever-present nature under all circumstances.”

“You have to spend your political capital on great causes for your country.”
“Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?”
“She'd also called me brave...unless she was talking to the catfish.”
“I wouldn't even know - and I spent three years in the CIA - I wouldn't even know how you'd start a covert action program in a place like Iran. It would be extraordinarily difficult.”
