“Each one of us is made up of many different people. Who we want to be at any one time is up to us, no one else. We don’t always have to play the same part.”
“There are many aspects to yourself. Which ones we reveal to ourselves is entirely up to us. To reveal this is a process of self-revelation.”
“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”
“Basically each one of us is alone here. Everything else is show biz.”
“Who is playing this part anyway? That’s right, play it any way you want. That’s the way to play it.”
“It may seem that we have multiple realities - because we’re capable of playing many different roles in our life.”
“Everybody, everybody, no matter what their position in life, has to give it up. Eventually, we have to let it all go - all we have accumulated - money, titles, family. In the end, it all has to go. In the meantime, don't be so attached to the parts you play and focus mainly on your sanity in playing those parts.”
