You cannot save people, you can only love them.

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

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

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

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.
