All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
