Perspective

"There's good self-consciousness and then there's also a toxic, paralyzing, raped-by-psychic-Bedoins self-consciousness."

"It's not what you do, it's when and where you do it, and who you do it to or with. If nobody sees it, it didn't happen."

"If you're going to be here, be here man.  Be present."

"Things can be much simpler than they originally appear."

“In order to really see the world we must break with our familiar acceptance of it.”

"To truly understand how things end, you must first know how they begin."

"When you don't fit in, you're forced to see the world from many different angles and points of view.  You gain knowledge and life lessons from disparate people and places.  And those lessons, for better or worse, have shaped me."

"People don't know what they want until you show it to them."

"Unless we look inwards, we will never be able to clearly see outwards."

"Our culture deliberately drives people to focus outside so it can control them.  If you can make people slaves of consumerism, slaves of success, slaves of status, you can manipulate them completely."
