No one has ever become poor by giving.

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

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

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.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...

We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

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

He who is in love with himself has at least this advantage - he won't encounter many rivals.

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

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools, and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.

Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.
