My only consolation when I am really sad is to love and to be loved.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

You can't learn style. Style, I think, is in your DNA.

Art is a language which anneals individuals to each other through experiences that are uniquely human.

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

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

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

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

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