To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.

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

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

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

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

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

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

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

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
