I have found God, but he is insufficient.
From Tropic of Cancer
Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. The other eight are unimportant
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such
Everyone has his own reality in which, if one is not too cautious, timid or frightened, one swims. This is the only reality there is.
From Stand Still Like the Hummingbird
And for that one moment of freedom you have to listen to all that love crap... it drive me nuts sometimes... I want to kick them out immediately... I do now and then. But that doesn't keep them away. They like it, in fact. The less you notice them the more they chase after you. There's something perverse about women... they're all masochists at heart.
From Tropic of Cancer
It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being, not with the mind, nor even with the heart.
He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals
