Humans can't live in the present, like animals do. Humans are always thinking about the future or the 
past. So it's a veil of tears, man. I don't know anything that's going to benefit me now, except love. I 
just need an overwhelming amount of love. And a nap. Mostly a nap.

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

I know now that there is no one thing that is true - it is all true.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.
