God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.

Any coward can sit at home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. But I would rather by far die on a mountainside than in bed.

Rich honesty dwells like a miser, sir, in a poor house; as your pearl in a foul oyster.

Self-actualizing people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy, and affection for human beings in general. They feel kinship and connection, as if all people were members of a single family.

Beside the river stands the holy tree of life. There doth my father dwell, and my home is in him. The heavenly father and I are one.

Is that what I want? The model family, two plus two in an easy home assembly kit? I don't want a model, I want the full-scale original. I don't want to reproduce, I want to make something entirely new.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.

I've always believed in magic. When I wasn't doing anything in this town, I'd go up every night, sit on Mulholland Drive, look out at the city, stretch out my arms, and say, "Everybody wants to work with me. I'm a really good actor. I have all kinds of great movie offers." I'd just repeat these things over and over, literally convincing myself that I had a couple movies lined up. I'd drive down that hill, ready to take the world on, going, "Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet." It was like total affirmations, antidotes to the stuff that stems from my family background.

The sacred is in the ordinary, in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.

A smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating that the heart is at home.
