It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

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

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

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

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

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

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.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.
