I am playing with my Self, I am playing with the world’s Soul, I am the dialogue between my Self and el espiritu del mundo (the spirit of the world). I change the world.

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.

I wanted a perfect ending…Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

The trinity of successful communication is: straight, simple, and with a smile.

It is worth a fortune
to have the habit of looking
on the bright side of things

The sacred is in the ordinary,
in one's daily life, in one's
neighbors, friends, and family,
in one's backyard.

I strive not to laugh at human actions,
not to weep at them or to hate them,
but to understand them.

The little things? The little moments?
They aren't little.

There can be no peace of mind, without strength of mind.

A man should by all means marry.
If he finds a good wife, he will be happy.
If he finds a bad one, he will become a philosopher.

Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.

If life were not complicated.
poetry and everything else
would be a bore.
