“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.”

“I am convinced that most people do not grow up. We find parking spaces and honor our credit cards. We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are still innocent and shy as magnolias.
We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.”
― Letter to My Daughter

“Mas o pior inimigo que você pode encontrar sempre será você mesmo; você fica à espreita em cavernas e florestas. Solitário, você está seguindo o caminho para si mesmo! E o seu caminho passa por você mesmo e pelos seus sete demônios! Você será um herege para si mesmo, uma bruxa, um adivinho, um tolo, um duvidoso, um profano e um vilão. Você deve estar pronto para queimar em sua própria chama: como você poderia se tornar novo, se primeiro não tivesse se tornado cinza?”
