I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. as long as i could hear his voice, i was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

We define boredom as the pain a person feels when he's doing nothing or something irrelevant, instead of something he wants to do but won't, can't, or doesn't dare. boredom is acute when he knows the other thing and inhibits his action, e.g., out of politeness, embarrassment, fear of punishment or shame. boredom is chronic if he has repressed the thought of it and no longer is aware of it. a large part of stupidity is just the chronic boredom, for a person can't learn, or be intelligent about, what he's not interested in, when his repressed thoughts are elsewhere.

Why did we become blind, i don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, do you want me to tell you what i think, yes, do, i don't think we did go blind, i think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.

Patience and boredom are closely related. boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. you don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.

At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.

I also listened to hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of [j.f.] kennedy, and i sort of built [ accent]. and then i got on set [of 'j.f.kennedy' movie ] and forgot it.but that's what you want to do. you want it to just be real. and i think authenticity was better than - people always talk about when an accent doesn't work, and the phrase you always hear is, "it was inconsistent."

In this branch of utopian real estate, architecture is no longer the art of designing buildings so much as the brutal skyward extrusion of whatever site the developer has managed to assemble.

And when you realize that you form the events of your life in the same way, you will learn to take hold of your entire consciousness in whatever aspect it shows itself in this life. through all of this you must realize that you are not powerless. remember, also, that this life is a dimension of experience and reality even if it is, in contrast, a dream in a higher level of reality in which you have your larger consciousness.

We think we are the victims of time. in reality, the way of the world isn't fixed anywhere. how could that be possible? we are our own journey. and therefore we are time as well. we are the same. fugitive. inscrutable. ruthless.

Boy, you gotta be real sick to get this much attention.
