The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous.

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

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

It takes a long time to grow young.

A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

Certain signs precede certain events.

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

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Don't be concerned others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

My art and profession is to live.

In the survival of favoured individuals and races, during the constantly-recurring struggle for existence, we see a powerful and ever-acting form of selection.

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.

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

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

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that's exactly the way we want it to be.

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.

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.
