I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.

Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you.

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

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

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

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.
