I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

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

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

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

You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.

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

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

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

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

All experience is great providing you live through it.

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

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