You mustn't ask me to explain everything I do. I can't. That's that. How can I say why at a certain moment I needed this. How can I explain why I needed a confusion of colors?

I don't need the aid of a clever man to teach me how to live. I can find it out for myself.

I don't want you fellows sitting around asking me what to do. I want you to tell me what to do.

We don’t need prophets to tell us how to live; we can find out for ourselves by consulting what’s actually there.

I am not interested in why man commits evil; I want to know why he does good.

Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

You don’t need to explain yourself.

You don’t need anyone’s permission to go after what you want.

And you don’t need to wait.

What I really need is to get clear about what I must do, not what I must know, except insofar as knowledge must precede every act. What matters is to find a purpose, to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do; the crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.

It's not about fulfilling other people's expectations; I need to think about me and about what I want to achieve.

I don't care what the polls say. I don't. I'm doing what I think what's wrong.

I don't wanta hear all your word descriptions of words words words you made up all winter, man I wanta be enlightened by actions.

I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.

Philosophical dogma doesn't interest me.
