Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

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

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

Some things are best mended by a break.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

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

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.
