 The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating

 There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.

 There is no such thing as a weird human being, It's just that some people require more understanding than others

 To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

 Using words to describe magic is like using a screwdriver to cut roast beef

 When life demands more of people than they demand of life - as is ordinarily the case - what results is a resentment of life almost as deep-seated as the fear of death

 As unrefined and basic as an animal's emotional equipment may be, it is not insensitive to freedom. Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable.

 Ideas are mallable and unstable; they not only can be misused, they invite misuse---and the better the idea the more volatile it is. That's because only the better ideas turn into dogma, and it is by this process whereby a fresh, stimulating, humanly helpful idea is changed into robot dogma that is deadly. Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness. The problem starts at the secondary level, not with the originator or developer of the idea, but with the people who are attracted to it, until the last nail breaks, and who invariably lack the overview, flexibility, imagination, and, most importantly, sense of humor to maintain it in the spirit in which it was hatched. Ideas are made by masters, dogmas by disciples, and the Buddha is always killed on the road.

 If it is committed in the name of God or country, there is no crime so heinous that the public will not forgive it.

 In order to be respected, authority has got to be respectable.

 It is easier to play around with a man's wife than with his cliches.

 It's been a positive thing for us. I think it's excellent.
