History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

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.

The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.

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.

My life didn't please me, so I created my life.

Live to the point of tears.

I am not young enough to know everything.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

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

Diamonds are a girls best friend.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

To do a great right do a little wrong.

A photograph is a moral decision taken in one eighth of a second.

It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

It takes a long time to grow young.
