Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what's going on next week, next month.

I'm an optimist, so I believe in some sort of life after death; I don't know what kind.

I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

Deep down, there is in the substance of the cosmos a primordial disposition, sui generis, for self-arrangement and self-involution.

It's a rare moment when we take a break from the tribulations of the daily rat race to reflect on assumptions and values that we casually accept as gospel.
