Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

The chief prevention against getting old is to remain astonished.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

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

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.
