You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference

Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye...until we meet again

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.
