“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”
“I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins.”
“Everything’s alright, form is emptiness and emptiness is form, and we’re here forever, in one form or another, which is empty. Everything’s alright, we’re not here, there, or anywhere. Everything’s alright, cats sleep.”
“When I was a kid, I met this guy who had sticks of butter and I always admired him. So I think the best advice was when my parents told me to cut it out when I started eating sticks of butter. I used to take sticks of butter and dip them in sugar and then drink huge glasses of Coca Cola and wear turtlenecks. Sometimes I would get so in the zone that life seemed so beautiful. From my bedroom I could smell my dad’s cigar smoke and I heard George Burns on the TV, and life looked good back then. That was the advice. Don’t take my advice.”
