Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.

Its not the men in your life that matters, its the life in your men.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

I want to feel my life while I'm in it.

You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

I can't help thinking that there are only one or two ways of being brought into this world, but there are so many fucked-up ways of leaving 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.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

A tragedy means always a man's struggle with that which is stronger than man.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

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

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous.
