Mind
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Consciousness, when it's unburdened by the body, is something that's ecstatic; we use the mind to watch the mind, and that's the meta-nature of our consciousness; we know that we know that we know, and that's such a delicious feeling, but when it's unburdened by biology and entropy, it becomes more than delicious: it becomes magical.

For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm.
Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
I don't mind playing someone's girlfriend or wife if I have something to say, if I bring something to the picture, if I can be strong and powerful and say smart things. If not, then it's just boring.
I think everyone has dreams, and it's just how you go about pursuing that. And I think anybody can do anything that they set their mind to. So if you set your mind to do something, and you exhaust every opportunity, I think you're going to get there.
Nature, philosophy and social issues are the three things that always occupy my mind. You do not have any power over others but can only change yourself.
