You've gotta hope that there's
someone for you as strange as you are,
who can
cope with the things that you do without
trying too hard.

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray.
The built you a temple and
locked you away,
but they never told you the price that you pay
for
things that you might have done.

Because we've been
lied to and
lied to, and it
hurts to be lied to.
It's ultimately about that complicated:
it hurts.
It denies you
respect for yourself, for the liar, for the world.
Especially if the lies are chronic, systematic,
if hard experience seems to teach that everything
you're
supposed to believe in is really a game based on lies.

Basically, I realized I was living in that
awful stage
of life between twenty-six and thirty-seven known as
stupidity.
It's when you don't know
anything, not even as much as you did when you were younger,
and you don't even have a
philosophy about all the things you don't know, the way you did when you were
twenty or would again when you were
thirty-eight.

Time heals all wounds.
And if it doesn't, you
name them something other
than wounds and
agree to let them stay.

Why is it that
pretty girls think they can treat people like
crap and get away with it?

Most
everything you think you know about
me is
nothing more than memories.

At the end of every war, the warriors come home,
hoping what they've seen and done wont' stay with them forever.
Buddha once said, "
It's better to conquer yourself than to win one thousand battles."
But other soldiers just
can't give up the fight and
go underground to plan the next war.
But it's the true warrior who knows that
wars don't end,
they simply change and there can never be peace as long as
guns are still loaded and there is plenty of ammunition.
These weapons may be deadly.

There was a young man, you know, who wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this guru, right. And he told the guru you know I wanna be on the same level you are and the guru said if you wanna be on the same level I’m on, I’ll met you tomorrow at the beach.
So the young man got there 4 A.M. he already to rock n’ roll. Got on a suit should of wore shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said: How bad do you wanna be successful? He said: “Real bad”. He said: Walk on out in the water. So he walks out into the water. Watch this. When he walks out to the water he goes waist deep and goes like this guy crazy.
Hey, I wanna make money and he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I wanna make money he got me in – so he said come on a little further – walked out a little further – then he had it right around this area – the shoulder area – so this old man crazy – he making money but he crazy. So he said come on out a little further – came out a little further, it was right at his mouth – my man, I’m not about to go back in this guy is out of his mind. And the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?” He said: “I do.” He said: “Then walk a little further.” He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down, my man (kept scratching) hold him down, he had him held down, just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said: “I got a question for you.” He told the guy, he said: “When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe than you will be successful.”

-- This is such an amazing inspirational speech. If you haven't listened to this, you must! This speaks the truth on so many different levels.

Now look at me! Take a good look! I was born and I knew I was alive and
I knew what I wanted. What do you think is alive in me? Why do you think I'm alive? Because I have a stomach and eat and digest the food? Because I breathe and work and produce more food to digest? Or because
I know what I want, and that something which knows how to want - isn't that life itself? And how - in this damned universe - who can tell me
why I should live for anything but for that which I want?
