Criticisms of a society filled with fools have no power in them to bother the sage that has emerged from the agonizing fire of misery.

You must hiss at people who intend to undermine your individuality with their false pride and intellectual stupidity. You must frighten them away, lest they should do you harm. Act like you have a lot of venom inside you, but never inject them into anyone.

Do not listen to a single soul, but your own inner voice. Foster your will and make it as wild as possible. Dive deep into the mysterious fathoms of the universe and accomplish your purpose by hook or by crook, even if it means going down to the bottom of the ocean to meet your doom.

With each drop of tear that we shed in our times of excruciating pain, our brain constructs majestic new cellular connections to aid in the pursuit of our passion - in the pursuit of truth.

Be humble, be simple and focus on your work, not on your appearance.

Simplicity is the attire of those with character, sophistication is the attire of the shallow.

I feel, think and behave the same, whether I am talking to a president of a nation, a scholar, a janitor or a sex worker. I have nothing to hide and nothing to gain, hence I have no need for pretense.

I don't know much fancy words. I think simple, I speak simple, I live simple.

Real rest comes through humility.
