Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

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

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

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

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

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

People living deeply have no fear of death.

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