To love is to tilt with the lightning, two bodies routed by a single honey's sweet.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

Every book has to wait for the right time to be read and understood.

In eighty-six years, child, I've learned the world is a far more mysterious place than most people realize and that every moment of life is woven through with meaning.

There is change in all things. You yourself are subject to continual change and some decay and this is common to the entire universe.

Let us realize that engagement and detachment aren't opposite-the more engaged we become, the more detached we will have to be.

But still, I find the need to remind myself of the temporariness of a day, to reassure myself that I got through yesterday, I'll get through today.

Human history is the sad result of each one looking out for himself.

There aren't any good guys, and there aren't any bad guys. There's just us. People. Doing our best to get by.

Each obsession is a knot in your being. Once it is opened, great energy is released

I'd rather live laughing for one year than live without laughing for one hundred.

Feeling good and feeling bad are not necessarily opposites. Both at least involve feelings. Any feeling is a reminder of life. The worst 'feeling' evidently is non-feeling.
