“Some people are afraid of being alone – really alone. We need this experience in order to realize that we really are totally alone. How could that be, since we have all these characters. Look at all those characters we’re carrying around within us. An actual traveling circus.”

“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.”

“Sometimes the best way to really love someone is to leave them alone.”

“Sometimes it seems that we initiate a scene and sometimes it seems that we’re just taking part in the scene. Actually, we’re initiating them all.”

“It‘s all a dream, until we realize that it is all a dream. Until then, we need to participate in the dream as if it were real … if we choose.”

“If we’re looking for peace from the world, forget it. We have to find our own inside. It’s actually easier to find.”

“You never know what the way will bring. Sometimes we have to lose the connection to someone in order to regain the connection to someone. That makes things more interesting anyway, since each someone will not be the same, and the connection will also not be the same. Actually, we can do this with all aspects of our life.”
