As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

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

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

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