Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.

You don't meet the people you love, you recognize them.

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

It is not enough to know your craft — you have to have feeling.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.
