I want to feel my life while I'm in it.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

Life should be great rather than long.

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

The less you know, the more you believe.

There is also this benefit in brag: that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
