I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

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

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

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

Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that's exactly the way we want it to be.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.

The knowledge of oneself will preserve that person from vanity.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.

Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of organized life.

Anything I've done up till 27 May 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.
