1. “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
2. “The only truth is music.”
3. “One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
4. “The world you see is just a movie in your mind. Rocks don’t see it. Bless and sit down. Forgive and forget. Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now. That’s the story. That’s the message. Nobody understands it, nobody listens, they’re all running around like chickens with heads cut off. I will try to teach it but it will be in vain. Someday the world will be a peaceful, beautiful place. Nobody knows when this will be. We do know that it will begin with one person.”
5. “I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.”
6. “I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted.”
7. “No matter what you say or do, there is always something that silently and invisibly escapes you. All the while you are speaking or doing, beware of that other thing, lurking and waiting.”
8. “I want to be considered a jazz poet . . . blow as deep as I want to blow—”
9. “It isn’t what you write, it’s the way you write it.”
10. “The best teacher is experience and not through someone’s distorted point of view.”
