“My twenties were great. Who didn't have fun in their twenties? But my attention was more out there, more about the surface stuff and the cosmetic stuff. I was always thinking, 'What do I need to do?' Now in my thirties, it's, 'What do I want to do?' I've just become more solid with my own identity. So whoever wants to say their twenties are better... Yes, they're fun, especially at night - better parties, better cocktails... not better sex though. Absolutely not. And whoever says that is lying because sex in your thirties and beyond is f**king out of this world.”
“And somewhat as in blind night, on a mild sea, a sailor may be made aware of an iceberg, fanged and mortal, bearing invisibly near, by the unwarned charm of its breath, nothingness now revealed itself: that permanent night upon which the stars in their expiring generations are less than the glinting of gnats, and nebulae, more trivial than winter breath; that darkness in which eternity lies bent and pale, a dead snake in a jar, and infinity is the sparkling of a wren blown out to sea; that inconceivable chasm of invulnerable silence in which cataclysms of galaxies rave mute as amber.”

“This human need for mysticism â€“ surrender to an unknown truth, union â€“ stands at the helm of all romantic feeling. It is, in essence, the same intimacy known in a motherâ€™s arms; in those who are deprived of the experience, the need freezes and, distorted, it can rent a life. All addiction has as its foundation skewed yearning for the same transcendence. For me, the spell of the material was broken by my brotherâ€™s death; after his suicide, all I wanted was the renewal of my connection to the intangible.”
“There are no problems that canâ€™t be solved. The world is too full of options. If you canâ€™t solve the #problem, itâ€™s because you havenâ€™t found the right option ... But the answer is always there.”
“It's unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure.”
