The avant-garde spirit is not just a youthful sentiment — I live my life by it.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

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

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

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

Success is the process itself.

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

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