We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Each morning when I awake I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.
How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes such enchanted musical instruments as the ears and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.
You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.
It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time it's pretty nutty.
I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who by all laws of logic should never have made it. At each stage of my career I lacked the experience.
Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
Human beings who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
