Everything else is stoplights, or follow the yellow line, or do this but don't do that. Surfing's one of the few things left.”

He now knows what he desires to do, but he thinks he will harm those around him, if he gives everything up to follow his dreams.

And you will feel tremendously blissful that it happened; even if you are being shot your death will be a glory, a peace, an adventure, a journey into a new world.”

— Rajneesh
