To Senor Sempere, the best friend a book could ever have: you opened the doors to the world for me and showed me how to go through them.

Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.

I don't suppose you have many friends. Neither do I. I don't trust people who say they have a lot of friends. It's a sure sign that they don't really know anyone.

Over time, loneliness gets inside you and doesn't go away.

Don't be afraid of being scared. To be afraid is a sign of common sense. Only complete idiots are not afraid of anything.

We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake.

We all give up great expectations along the way.

I can't die yet, doctor. Not yet. I have things to do. Afterwords I'll have a whole lifetime in which to die.

I've always said that idleness dulls the spirit. We have to keep the brain busy, or at least the hands if we don't have a brain.

It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality.

Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.

There's nothing quite like a good quest for getting your blood pumping.

For some folks fate has set countless falls and a fewer loves. If they farewell faith, then, farewell their chance of lifelong happiness.

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.

Every man is a hero of his own story.

If you fall during your life it doesn't matter because you're never a failure if you try to get up.

You can turn your goals into gold.

The opposite of nature is impossible.

The world is alive and no living thing has any remedy. That is our fortune.

I don't want someone coming in and passing judgment on my life.

Embodiment means we no longer say, I had this experience; we say, I am this experience.
