A few years ago I made a similar word cloud of his essays using Wordle:

I've often thought it would make a good shirt or book cover.

That's really attractive. Did you automate the layout and color assignments?

(Mmm! Even the font makes me happy! 'something people want')

That's all Wordle. I did tweak the settings so it would look good (not sure why the defaults look so bad). The colors themselves don't mean anything, they just make the resulting cloud look good.
