Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.

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.

I want to feel my life while I'm in it.

Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

Life has a certain flavour for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.

I desire to live in peace and to continue the life I have begun under the motto 'to live well you must live unseen'

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

The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

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

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

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

To one extent, if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

The natural world is the greatest source of excitement. The greatest source of visual beauty. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.
