We all owe death a life.

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.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

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

History is the devil's scripture.

Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn

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

Last year I sang for the Queen of England, met the president of the United States, and got an Emmy and a star on The Walk of Fame. And what did I do? I was just being myself.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.

Live to the point of tears.

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

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

There's no advantage to hurrying through life.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.
