I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become thevictor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing then it is the eternal
dance or creation. The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing...and dancing...and dancing. Until there is only...the dance.”

They’re not childlike at all, they’re really, really deep; you can rule your life by them.

It was essays, thoughts and things that I’ve thought about while on tour”

Some of the greatest political figures have come to the United States to meet them.”
