• What am I, really? The beautiful thing...is nobody can tell us what we are. Nobody can really tell us. Not in a way that's going to be satisfactory to us. Our true nature is self-authenticating. When we bump into our true nature, it authenticates itself. Something inside us knows. This...is what has been sought for, longed for, looked for. This is it. Usually, it's not what we expected.

It made the hairs on my skin stand up, my breath catch in my throat....I felt the music like a physical thing; it didn't just sit in my ears, it flowed through me, around me, made my senses vibrate. It made my skin prickle and my palms dampen...It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.

Look at the grass, how it grows! Look at the eyes that gaze at you and love you!

• Vienna, to me it was the tuning fork for the entire world. Saying the word Vienna was like striking a tuning fork and then listening to find what tone it called forth in the person I was talking to. It was how I tested people. If there was no response, this was not the kind of person I liked. Vienna wasn't just a city, it was a tone that either one carries forever in one's soul or one does not. It was the most beautiful thing in my life. I was poor, but I was not alone, because I had a friend.

• Hearing the sound of your breathing as you sleep,
  with the dog at your feet, his head resting
  on a shoe, and the clock's ticking
  like water dripping in a sink - I know that, even if reincarnation were a fact,
  given the inherent cruelty of the world
  where beautiful things and people
  are blasted apart all the day long,
  I would never want to come back, knowing
  I could never be this lucky twice.
