You do what you do - in the circumstances in which you find yourself - because of the way you are.

But you can't be ultimately responsible for the way you are (for the reasons just given). So you can't be ultimately responsible for what you do.

Today, everybody is always rushing. Designers have to make collections one after the other. Actresses have to make movies one after the other.

But if you keep speaking that language, you will become the person who corresponds to it.

I love that as an audience member.

Through death you find yourself, because you no longer identify with form. You realize you are not the form with which you had identified ­ neither the physical nor the psychological form of "me". That form goes. It dissolves and who you are beyond form emerges through the opening where that form was. One could almost say that every form of life obscures God.
