“To make up your mind is to admit you die in the end. Admit this, face it and make a decision my good man.”

“I do believe we survive but I can’t prove it.”

“Our activity on Earth ceases at some point and the rest can take care of itself. I suppose that’s the attitude to have.”

“It always comes back to the individual self.”

“So, what’s it going to be. You can’t go on this way, it’s impossible. You need to dedicate yourself to a way that will be sufficient and productive. Endless notes and conversations will drive you nuts in the end.”

“I simply wanted to experience reality and then tell tales. Later it was to understand that reality, tales or no.”

“You had the mystical belief that the content of mind is the obstacle and so let it all dance across the brain without stopping. But, is that wise?”

“It’s asian no doubt. I’ve heard thousands of explanations on the content of mind and it resolves nothing, it produces nothing of truth or beauty.”

“But in the world that must work with what it has there can be no other way, I hope you see that.”

“I do see it. It cost me a few years in seeing it but it is worth seeing, necessary seeing.”

“The only way to intrude into the world is through the love and compassion of language.”

“Love and compassion of language or love and compassion drive through the language at hand?”

“If you love language you will love God and nature and life. Your biggest obstacle will be the despair you feel when you see and hear the way language is being used today. Love and compassion are great powers and great powers can see through even the smallest conversation between strangers in a plane at 32000 feet.”
