• I think it's hard to make a living as a writer, but I think it's hard to work at McDonald's too.... I think the commitment is to get up everyday and say, "I'm a writer, therefore what I'm supposed to do today is write." And to do that, and to do that and to do that.

• It isn't that a warrior learns shamanism as time goes by; rather, what he learns as time goes by is to save energy.

Shamanism is a state of awareness, the ability to use energy fields that are not employed in perceiving the everyday-life world that we know.

• The soil in which the meditative mind can begin is the soil of everyday life, the strife, the pain, and the fleeting joy. It must begin there, and bring order, and from there move endlessly. ..
