We are a nation within a nation..

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God..

There are some good rules and there are some lousy rules..

I take all of my music seriously and personally..

It is always hazardous to express what one has to say indirectly and allusively..

Do not let anyone stop you from succeding.

No one actually lives as if there is no objective truth..

What poetry can, must, and will always do for us: it complicates us, it doesn’t ‘soothe.’.

I always do things before I go on a case and when I leave a case. I even do that when I'm out on the road..

I don't like closed systems..

I don't pull, I just receive..

Much is wanting to those who seek or covet much..

Calamus fortior gladio..

You won't be happy anywhere until you're happy somewhere..

L.A.'s always been good to me..

Now I see -- we are always most revolted by the things hidden within us..

Being precedes Truth, and ... Truth precedes the Good..

Success is less rare than the courage to attempt it..

I just create, that's what I do..

Always say less than necessary..

We see not our own backs..
