Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can be delightful.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

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

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

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

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

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.
