Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

Anything I've done up till 27 May 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

It takes a long time to grow young.

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Quick sensitivity is inseperable from a ready understanding.

Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of organized life.

The past is the best prophet of the future.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
