Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

The more I see, the less I know for sure.

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

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.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.

All of us are products of our childhood.

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

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Life is a disease, brother, and death begins already at birth. Every breath, every heartbeat, is a moment of dying - a little shove toward the end.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

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

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

Life has got to be lived-that's all that there is to it.

The knowledge of oneself will preserve that person from vanity.

The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.
