That dog don’t hunt.
Awareness without action is worthless.
A man can’t ‘just be friends’ with another woman. Period.
Like an enemy I knew as intimately as any friend, I came to know the nagging, constant emptiness of the incongruent life. I ignored myself and lived for people, purposes, and goals that weren’t my own. I betrayed who I was and instead accepted a fictional substitute that was defined from the outside in.
If you ever get started on the right path to change, there is one important precondition you have to meet. You must rid yourself of that gnawing and overpowering sense of urgency and panic that always seems to appear on the scene.
If you don’t know what it is you want – and I mean specifically – then you won’t even know when you have it.
You have to figure out what that is, and you have to make a plan to get to it. And the plan has got to have a timeline. You have to choose something that you can afford to do and then lock it in and passionately do it.
Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
We are what and where we are because we have first imagined it.
Thinking calls for facts; facts are found by digging; but he who has gathered this wealth is well equipped for life.
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
You either get it or you don’t. Become one of those who get it.
Life is like improvised jazz. We cannot regulate all the variables. We must play it with panache and flair as best we can.
If only I had known then the speed with which she could die, maybe I wouldn’t have become the hemlock.
Don’t make me put your head in my blender!
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.
All begins with you surrounding yourself with the right peoplethe good and authentic peopleand unsurrounding yourself with the wrong people. And we both know there are plenty of wrong people in this world.
You know I don’t wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn’t make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious…
People create their own experiences.
Life is a marathon, it’s not a sprint.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
