Art is the one place we all turn to for solace.

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.

The first time you do something only happens once.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

Most people rush after pleasure so fast that they rush right past it.

Let everything you do be done in love.

There is no deeper desire than the desire of being revealed.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

You must believe that your past is not your future.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
