Life is an ocean, and most everyone's hanging on to some kind of dream to keep afloat.

Life is spectacular. Forget the dark things. Take a drink and let time wash them away to where ever time washes away to.

That's how it is with legends. The greater they sound, the more must've got left out.

The only way you're going to get something to last in this world is to work at it

Beauty’s all around me right here. It’s not in a textbook. It’s not in an equation. I mean, take the sunlight … The colors flow into your lungs, into your bloodstream. You are the colors.

I am as I am, and that's all there is to it, I can hardly take a pair of scissors to myself, and cut out a different person...

eyes running over me like the work of a hundred biting ants

In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.

A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow.

Don't look back - you're not going that way.
