“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.”

“The power of thought is far greater than most people ever realize.”

“Simple things have greater power than the complicated things!”

“It would be a far greater sin for you to drift along in a haze of moderation than to start a fire or two. Go fuck some things up.”

“The only thing greater than the power of the mind is the courage of the heart”

“Artists often collect. Sometimes compulsively. They hang on to things. They don’t want to let go. Like paintings. I don’t want to part with them. Some I won’t sell at any price. I don’t even let people see ‘em. - We don’t like change, and we’re possesive. Maybe that’s why we do it. We want to hang on to things, hang on to the one time. We don’t want to let it go; we want to capture it and keep it forever. Or one person. How she was then. At that moment. That’s what I want - to stop time, to have that power.”
