“You have to admit that this is a very strange life. If you don’t admit it, then you have a very high threshold for strangeness, and more power to you.”

“Unless you admit it to yourself, that you don’t know what is going on, will you experience what is going on. The ultimate paradox of life.”

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

“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.”

“If you really love someone, be very careful – it’s a very delicate instrument.”

“Stay out of situations that you don’t absolutely have to get involved with.”

“Religions are strange. They seem to be caught in some dream which they won’t give up and trying to convince others of the truth of their dream, when in fact each person is having their own dream. Take what you need from the religions and just leave the rest, and be all right with that.”
