A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

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

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.

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

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on.
