Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.

To live in the consciousness of the inevitability of suffering, of becoming enfeebled, of old age and of death, is impossible. We must free ourselves from life, from all possible life.

I'm laughing because I know the secret of life. And the secret of life is that I have validated my existence. I know that I am worth more than my house, my bank account, or any physical thing.

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I'll let you decide which is the more important revelation.

I have lived long enough to learn how much there is I can really do without.... He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.

Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.
