When I drank, I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.

My mom's a Catholic, and my dad's a Jew, and they didn't want anything to do with anything.

Women didn't want to watch other women on television because they were jealous of their husbands' diverted attention.

Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.

Swami Dhyan Giten

Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter, O Beauty!

Sir Walter Raleigh
