If i had my life to live over, i would try to make more mistakes. i would relax. i would be sillier than i have been this trip. i know of very few things that i would take seriously. i would be less hygienic. i would go more places. i would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. i would eat more ice cream and less spinach. i would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles.

More From Don Herold

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. when we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. after practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. now the mountains are very free. our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.

I've known rivers: i've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. my soul has grown deep like the rivers. i bathed in the euphrates when dawns were young. i built my hut near the congo and it lulled me to sleep. i looked upon the nile and raised the pyramids above it. i heard the singing of the mississippi when abe lincoln went down to new orleans, and i've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. i've known rivers: ancient, dusky rivers. my soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I actually think the same things do make most people happy. the differences are extremely small, and around the margins. you like peach ice cream; i like strawberry ice cream. both of us like ice cream much better than a smack on the head with two-by-four.
Thinking Ice Cream Two
Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no one's ever eaten before? like chicken and telepone ice cream? green mouse ice cream was the worst. i didn't like that at all.

I'm not a believer in predetermined fates, being rewarded for one's efforts. i'm not a believer in karma. the reason why i try to be a good person is because i think it's the right thing to do. if i commit fewer bad acts there will be fewer bad acts, maybe other people will join in committing fewer bad acts, and in time there will be fewer and fewer of them.
Karma Fate Thinking
Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.

Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.

A mistake is an event, the full benefit of which has not yet been turned to your advantage.

Make no mistake: when i told senator mitchell that i injected roger clemens with performance-enhancing drugs, i told the truth.

Watching first nights, though i've seen quite a few by now, is never any better. it's a nerve-racking experience. it's not a question of whether the play goes well or badly. it's not the audience reaction, it's my reaction. i'm rather hostile toward audiences—i don't much care for large bodies of people collected together. everyone knows that audiences vary enormously; it's a mistake to care too much about them. the thing one should be concerned with is whether the performance has expressed what one set out to express in writing the play. it sometimes does.
