“Changing your outside world cannot make you happy if you are an unhappy person. The real personal change can only happen from the inside out. If you firstly create the change within yourself, you can turn your life around.”

“Changing your perception will alter your interpretations and therefore, your reality. If you feel like you’re hitting a wall because you simply don’t understand something, or another person has a different approach, keep your mind open and willing to reinterpret it with fresh eyes, more information, a change in position, or a new perspective”

“Channel Firing That night your great guns, unawares, Shook all our coffins as we lay, And broke the chancel window-squares, We thought it was the Judgment-day And sat upright. While drearisome Arose the howl of wakened hounds: The mouse let fall the altar-crumb, The worms drew back into the mounds, The glebe cow drooled. Till God called, “No; It’s gunnery practice out at sea Just as before you went below; The world is as it used to be: “All nations striving strong to make Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters They do no more for Christés sake Than you who are helpless in such matters. “That this is not the judgment-hour For some of them’s a blessed thing, For if it were they’d have to scour Hell’s floor for so much threatening . . . “Ha, ha. It will be warmer when I blow the trumpet (if indeed I ever do; for you are men, And rest eternal sorely need).” So down we lay again. “I wonder, Will the world ever saner be,” Said one, “than when He sent us under In our indifferent century!” And many a skeleton shook his head. “Instead of preaching forty year,” My neighbour Parson Thirdly said, “I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer.” Again the guns disturbed the hour, Roaring their readiness to avenge, As far inland as Stourton Tower, And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”

“Chanson de la minuit Sur ton épaule j’ai mis mes rêves, Doucement, pour pas te déranger, Et j’ai cherchée timide tes lèvres, Pour les donner un chaud baiser. J'aurais voulu te caresser, Mais les etoiles ont vu mon entreprise Et mes pensées commencent à s'envoler, Comment te rendre une surprise. J'ai attendu la lune montante Ses rayons embrasser ton âme, Et ton visage, brillant charmante, Et sourisant, l'amour proclame. Maintenant je sais que cette musique, C'est la chanson de la minuit, Quand le coeur chante mélancolique, En partageant désirs inassouvis.”

“Chant de la Nouvelle-France La Nouvelle-France est un art d'amour, pas une tache de haine et d'ignorance. La Nouvelle-France est une terre de promesses, pas une terre d'indifférence. La Nouvelle-France est une France meilleure, on n'a plus soif de sang. Nous travaillons ensemble sans division, pour faire partie intégrante du monde. Le Hijab, l'habit, le turban, tous égaux - Ce qui est inacceptable, c'est l'intolérance. Les mesures primitives sont inutiles, Le caractère triomphe en Nouvelle-France. La Nouvelle-France est un art d'aimer, hors de portée des singes haineux. La Nouvelle-France est célébration de la vie, pas une validation de préjugés ruineux.”

“CHANT FOR DARK HOURS Some men, some men Cannot pass a Book shop. (Lady, make your mind up, and wait your life away.) Some men, some men Cannot pass a Crap game. (He said he’d come at moonrise, and here’s another day!) Some men, some men Cannot pass a Bar-room. (Wait about, and hang about, and that’s the way it goes.) Some men, some men Cannot pass a Woman. (Heaven never send me another one of those!) Some men, some men Cannot pass a Golf course. (Read a book, and sew a seam, and slumber if you can.) Some men, some men Cannot pass a Haberdasher’s. (All your life you wait around for some damn man!)”

“Chantal's only ruse ... was her shattering simplicity. While a weak man or an imposter is always more complicated than the problem he is trying to solve, and thinking to encompass his adversary, merely keeps prowling interminably around himself, the heroic nature will throw itself into the heart of the danger to turn it to its own use, just as captured artillery is turned about and aimed at the backs of the fleeing enemy.”

“Chanting doesn't stop you from being creative or productive. It actually helps you concentrate. I think this would make a great sketch for television: imagine all the workers on the Ford assembly line in Detroit, all of them chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna while bolting on the wheels. Now that would be wonderful. It might help out the auto industry, and probably there would be more decent cars too.”

“Chanting Hare Krishna is a type of meditation that can be practiced even if the mind is in turbulence. You can even be doing it and other things at the same time. That's what's so nice. In my life there's been many times the mantra brought things around. It keeps me in tune with reality, and the more you sit in one place and chant, the more incense you offer to Krishna in the same room, the more you purify the vibration, the more you can achieve what you're trying to do, which is just trying to remember God, God, God, God, God, as often as possible.”
