“I am an anarchist in a totally different category from that of all anarchists who ever lived on the face of the earth. I am a category consisting of myself, because my focus is completely different. I am not against the government, I'm against the need for government. I am not against the courts, I am against the need for courts. Someday, sometime, I see the need for man to be able to live without any control - religious or political - as it will be a discipline in itself.”
“دوستی خالصترین عشق است. دوستی والاترین صورت عشق است جایی که چیزی نمیخواهی، شرطی قائل نمیشوی، جایی که ایثار کردن عین لذت است. یکی بسیار نصیب میبرد، اما این اصل نیست، این نصیب خودبهخود پیش میآید. انسان نیاموخته است که زیباییهای تنهایی را دریابد. او همیشه آوارهٔ جستن نوعی پیوند است، میخواهد با کسی باشد – با یک دوست، با یک پدر، با یک همسر، با یک فرزند، با یکی و کسی... اما نیاز اساسی آن است که به گونهای فراموش کنی که تنهای.”
“When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.”
“Life begins where fear ends.”
“If you live consciously, if you try to bring consciousness to every act that you go through, you will be living in a silent, blissful state, in serenity, in joy, in love. Your life will have the flavour of a festival. That is the meaning of heaven: your life will have many flowers in it, much fragrance will be released through you. You will have an aura of delight. Your life will be a song of life-affirmation, it will be a sacred yes to all that existence is. You will be in communion with existence — in communion with stars, with the trees, with the rivers, with the mountains, with people, with animals. This whole life and this whole existence will have a totally different meaning for you. From every nook and corner, rivers of bliss will be flowing towards you. Heaven is just a name for that state of mind. Hell means you are living so unconsciously, so absurdly, in such contradiction, that you go on creating more and more misery for yourself.”
“Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life. Through life you can gain the world, the futile world- meaningless, worthless. Through death you can gain the eternal. Death is the door.”
