“You could lead your life as if the whole world were watching you on TV, or you could lead your life as if no one is watching you – same thing.”

“You don’t have to lead your life for others – just lead your life.”

“Everyone has their own life to lead, in their own way. You know, when you really look at things as they appear, the whole trip is simply unbelievable. Actually, it’s totally ridiculous most of the time.”

“The best you can do is to take care of your life. No one is going to do it for you.”

“If you set up your life so that the people you need you, that's ok. If you set up your life so that you don't need anyone - then you need to be prepared for the experience of aloneness.”

“Did you ever watch a smoke ring and how it appears? That’s like our thoughts. They disappear in the same way.”

“You don’t own your life – it’s on loan.”
