"All I could say was, "I don't know what to do."I remember her taking me by the shoulders and looking me in the eye with a calm smile and saying simply, "Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth."
"Before you realize this truth, say the Yogis, you will always be in despair, a notion nicely expressed in this exasperated line from the Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus: 'You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not."
"You’re wishin’ too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be."
"Man is a demon, man is a god. Both true."
"I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on the water."
"This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something."
