“The problem with being alive, I can tell you now, is that it happens so fast, we don't have the time to make sense of it in the same way that you can once you're dead.”

“We conformed, and we will conform again—and then again—until our final conformity.”

“There's going to be times where you're questioning yourself. But if you stay the course and believe in yourself and take it one day at a time, there's going to be a light at the end of the tunnel.”

“As we get older, we get better at choosing in ways that will make us happy. We do a better job at picking activities that make us happy, and at spending time with people who make us happy. We're also better at letting things go.”

“I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.”

“Insecurity is such a waste of time.”

“There is simply no problem of life; it is absolutely purposeless play; it doesn't have to continue; there is no reason whatever to explain it, for explanations are just another form of complexity, a new manifestation of life on top of life, gestures gesturing. If there is any problem at all it is to find out how people come to think there is a problem, whatever made them imagine that life is serious. Basically there is the gesture. Time, space, multiplicity are all complications of it. Pain and suffering are very far-out forms of play, and there just isn't anything at all to be afraid of. There isn't any ego. The ego is a kind of flip, knowing that you know — like being afraid of being afraid. It's a curlicue, an extra jazz to things, a sort of double take or reverberation, a dithering of consciousness which is the same as anxiety.”
