The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the basis for the album cover.

A poem in form still has to have voice gesture a sense of discovery a metaphoric connection as any poetry does.

Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.

He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.

My pet peeve and my goal in life is to somehow get an adjective for 'integrity' in the dictionary. 'Truthful' doesn't really cover it or 'genuine.' It should be like 'integritus.'

I used to love dogs until I discovered cats.

The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. The one that gives philosophy peace so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.

I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement and Freud and Jung and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged.

The man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man but such beings are seldom met with.

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them he opens the way for his successors.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels life stirring on all sides.

You can never stop discovering music.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

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.
