No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

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

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Wrinkles are engraved smiles.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

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

There's no advantage to hurrying through life.

When a woman conceives her true self, a miracle occurs and life around her begins again.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Quick sensitivity is inseperable from a ready understanding.

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Time is the best killer.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

All of us are products of our childhood.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.
