More on Authenticity
“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.”
“How much more can you give? Other than, literally, open-heart surgery onstage? Not much. But the only cure you have right now is the honesty of going, this is who you are. I know who I am.”
“If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're going to have to take what they get.”
More on Individuality
“The individual (no matter how well-meaning he might be, no matter how much strength he might have, if only he would use it) does not have the passion to rip himself away from either the coils of Reflection or the seductive ambiguities of Reflection; nor do the surroundings and times have any events or passions, but rather provide a negative setting of a habit of reflection, which plays with some illusory project only to betray him in the end with a way out: it shows him that the most clever thing to do is nothing at all.”
“Create yourself. Be yourself your poem.”
“I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.”
