I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

I learned that you have to push away the demand of people's expectations by believing in your instincts.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

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

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

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
