I can't help thinking that there are only one or two ways of being brought into this world, but there are so many fucked-up ways of leaving it.

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

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

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.

Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.

I am not young enough to know everything.

For life in general, there is but one decree: youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

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

The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

A man who dares to waste one hour of life has not discovered the value of life

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.

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

Live your life and forget your age.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

The past is the best prophet of the future.

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

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