"I mean, it's hard to talk about death without realizing that's our end too, right? I am constantly aware of death. It's not that I want to be, but it's a fascination of the mind and it plays a role in why I want to live my life a certain way. The more I am aware of my mortality the better person I am and the better I am at choosing a life that is aware of its beauty."

"To live is a constant process of relating, so come on out of that shell of isolation and conclusion, and relate DIRECTLY to what is being said. Bear in mind I seek neither your approval nor to influence you. So do not make up your mind as to "this is this" or "that is that."

Occasionally I think about the one Space and the one Thought, but usually I don't. Usually I think about my condominium."
"I would say my mind is always working - no matter where I am I continue to see opportunities all around me. My only sorrow is that I can't possibly explore them all!"
