I happen to know that my sensitivity is my strength.

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

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

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

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

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

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.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.
