Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

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

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.
