I've been traveling the world and experiencing different places, and you always discover new things.

I used to think you should keep on experimenting and seeing new things. But after seeing a lot of the world, I now tend to return to the same spots. I enjoy the familiarity.

The spectacles of experience; through them you will see clearly a second time.

At one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country, rarely seeing people. I was in that state of oneness with creation and it was as if I didn't exist except as a part of everything.

Eventually, my eyes were opened, and I really understood nature. I learned to love at the same time.

Be curious enough to keep an open mind to what's happening around you in society. You can look at yourself and the world at the same time.

You basically only discover a new thing once.

A lot of my world-view is formed by the places I've been.

I have had that same experience where there are several people who have come up in my life at the right time and have made critical contributions to how I see the world and how I see myself.
