"i love...NEW THINGS."

"the world is...FULL OF SURPRIZES. WE'RE NOT EXPERIENCING THE ULTIMATE REALITY. THE 'REAL' IS HIDING ALL THROUGH LIFE, BUT WE DON'T SEE IT. WE MISTAKE IT FOR ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. FEAR IS BASED ON NOT SEEING THE WHOLE THING, AND IF YOU COULD SEE THE WHOLE THING, FEAR WOULD BE OUT THE WINDOW."

"ninjas are cool because...YOU CAN'T SEE THEM."

"if i was a frog i would...LICK MY OWN PSYCHEDELIC SWEAT."

"my shoes...ARE ALWAYS BRAND NEW, ASK PUMA."
