During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams

We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

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

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

To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.

Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.

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

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Only he who accepts clashes and conflicts in life, loves life.

Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.

Live simply so others may simply live.

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

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

My art and profession is to live.
