Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

Art is a language which anneals individuals to each other through experiences that are uniquely human.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
