To be awake is to be fully present, no noise, just you and God. Most of us only have seconds of full consciousness. To live in a state of Samadhi - that's what we're here for.

What I try to capture as a writer is the feeling of being alive, of being awake.

This country has been unconscious, and it's got to awake. That's my belief.

It's good to be alive.

To be alive as a human being is to know, in the same way as it is to have a heart that beats.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

To live is to die.

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.

Sleep - death without dying - living, but not life.
