Pay attention to what you pay attention to.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

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

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

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

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.
