Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it.

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

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

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

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

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

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

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.
