We need men who can dream of things that never were.

Words empowered by justice can never be silenced.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
