The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

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

We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often 'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.'

Insanity in individuals is rare - but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule.

Time is the best killer.

It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

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

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

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

The future is the shape of things to come.

I'm not sure I'm adult yet.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
