“If you own a rug you own too much.”

“Every American wants MORE MORE of the world and why not, you only live once. But the mistake made in America is persons accumulate more more dead matter, machinery, possessions & rugs & fact information at the expense of what really counts as more: feeling, good feeling, sex feeling, tenderness feeling, mutual feeling. You own twice as much rug if you're twice as aware of the rug.”

“Caring too much about someone can make you lose your own limits.”

“Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness.”

“If you can spend enough time playing other people, you don't have to think too much about your own character motivations.”

“Enlightenment is its own reward, its own punishment. You begin to see so much more. And so much more sees you.”
