In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed.

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

We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often 'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.'

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Pain don't hurt.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

Is it not enough that 'things are cruel and blind'? Must we also be cruel and blind?

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Middle age has been defined as what happens when a person's broad mind and narrow waist change places.

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
