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

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

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

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

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

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

You make your life meaningful by applying meaning to it.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.

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

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

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

The truth is the light and light is the truth.
