Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses, and disappointments.

Resilience — the ability to brush off pain.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

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

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

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

You can't learn style. Style, I think, is in your DNA.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

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

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.
