“Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants. Stop thinkingabout what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?”

“Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want?”

“Looking can make you want. Wanting can get you thinking. If you want them to stop thinking, just give them what they want.”

“Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.”

“But even if you have what everyone else wants- if it isn't what you want, it isn't what you want”

“They’re never going to change. You gotta get that into your head. What they did up there? They’ll keep doing that forever. You know why? Because they’re withholders. That’s what power is all about. Not giving people what they want. So you know what that means? It means you’ve got to stop wanting. Stop wanting them to love you, or be proud of you, or whatever it is you’re after. ’Cause you’re not gonna get it.”
