I like having my hair and face done but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

Suffering isn't ennobling recovery is.

The all-seeing eye of God beheld our deplorable state infinite pity touched the heart of the Father of mercies and infinite wisdom laid the plan of our recovery.

Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight out of mind.' But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine it reopens the wound. It's a high-class problem but it's real.

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.

When you awaken some morning and hear that somebody or other has been discovered you can put it down as a fact that he discovered himself years ago - since that time he has been toiling working and striving to make himself worthy of general discovery.

My first care the following morning was to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.
